Nolan Arenado’s pinch-hit RBI double in the ninth inning secured a 2-1 victory for the St. Louis Cardinals against the Los Angeles Dodgers, who were held scoreless for 17 innings in the series. After a ground-rule double from Nolan Gorman and an error by pitcher Ben Casparius, Arenado’s fly ball found the stands, while Shohei Ohtani scored a wild pitch tying the game briefly. The Cardinals’ Erick Fedde and Dodgers’ Yoshinobu Yamamoto both delivered strong pitching performances, with the series continuing as St. Louis prepares to start Michael McGreevy against Clayton Kershaw on Sunday.
