Clutch Hitting Delivers Win for Cardinals
A good performance from left fielder Brandon Nimmo helped the St. Louis Cardinals defeat the Pittsburgh Pirates, 4-2.

With the win, the Cardinals improved to 64-73.

Nimmo had a game-changing home run in the bottom of the eighth. On a 3-1 fastball from Bill Brown, he banged a 2-run home run to right, giving the Cardinals a 4-2 lead. It was the 7th home run of the year for Nimmo.

"Winning the game is always the first objective," Nimmo said.
