Cardinals hit 4 straight homers against Phillies

PHILADELPHIA (KMOV) -- The Cardinals’ offense started off red hot in Philadelphia Saturday afternoon.

It started when Nolan Arenado hit a two-run home run following a Paul Goldschmidt single.

Arenado is staying hot after hitting for the cycle Friday night. Can’t complain about that start. The bats kept going, though. Nolan Gorman, Juan Yepez and Dylan Carlson all followed with home runs.

Per @ESPNStatsInfo this is the 1st time in Cardinals history that they have it 4 HR on a row. It’s the 11th instance all-time of 4 HR in a row, and first since the White Sox in 2020. pic.twitter.com/ECholtCFsQ
