ST. LOUIS \u2014 Nolan Gorman singled home the winning run, lifting the St. Louis Cardinals to a 3-2 victory over the Chicago Cubs to wrap up their three-game series Sunday night.<\/p>\n
In the seventh, Jordan Walker singled with two outs. He stole second and scored when Gorman singled to right field to knock Shota Imanaga (8-5) out of the game.<\/p>\n
Imanaga went 6 2\/3 innings with nine strikeouts and no walks. He gave up the three runs on four hits.<\/p>\n
Sonny Gray (11-5) threw seven innings to earn the win. He allowed two runs on five hits, struck out seven and walked one.<\/p>\n
JoJo Romero pitched the final 1 1\/3 innings to record his third save despite giving up a walk and two singles in the ninth. Pinch-runner Jon Berti was caught stealing for the second out. After two hits, Romero got Matt Shaw to ground into a fielder\u2019s choice to escape the jam.<\/p>\n
Shaw pulled the Cubs even at 2-2 with a home run into the left field bullpen in the fifth.<\/p>\n
Pedro Pag\u00e9s gave the Cardinals a 2-0 lead when he homered after Thomas Saggese led off the third inning with a single.<\/p>\n
Key moment<\/p>\n
In the fourth inning, Pete Crow-Armstrong singled with one out. He stole second for his 30th steal. But then he was picked off by Gray, who threw to shortstop Masyn Winn.<\/p>\n
