Nolan Arenado hit his 350th homer in the third inning and drove in the go-ahead run in the 10th to help the St. Louis Cardinals beat Chicago 8-6 on Thursday night to sweep a doubleheader and hand the White Sox their eighth straight loss.<\/p>\n
Rookie Andre Granillo, who got the final out in the seventh for his first career victory in the first game, pitched a scoreless 10th for his first save in his fourth appearance. JoJo Romero (3-3) worked a scoreless ninth for the victory.<\/p>\n
Arenado hit the milestone homer following a three-run shot by Alec Burleson in the third and finished 3 for 5. He’s the seventh player with 350 homers and 10-plus Gold Gloves.<\/p>\n
Willson Contreras, who homered and drove in three runs to help St. Louis rally for a 5-4 win in the opener, had a two-out two-run double in the fourth for a 6-1 lead.<\/p>\n
Andrew Benintendi hit his third career grand slam with two outs in the seventh to cap a five-run inning as Chicago tied it at 6.<\/p>\n
Dan Altavilla (0-1) struck out Burleson to begin the 10th. Arenado singled to score automatic runner Jordan Walker, but was thrown out trying for a double. Lars Nootbaar added his ninth homer for an insurance run.<\/p>\n
Victor Scott II singled and stole his 20th base and Willson Contreras was hit by a pitch ahead of Burleson’s seventh homer.<\/p>\n
Ryan Noda homered leading off the second against St. Louis starter Michael McGreevy for his first hit with Chicago.<\/p>\n
St. Louis has won three straight.<\/p>\n
Key moment<\/p>\n
Arenado threw home on a grounder by Vinny Capra to get Tauchman for the second out in the ninth. Miguel Vargas grounded out after Capra stole second to force extra innings.<\/p>\n
Key stat<\/p>\n
St. Louis is 8-4 in six doubleheaders this season, while Chicago was playing its first doubleheader.<\/p>\n
