Freeman Extends Homer Streak to Five Games, Leading Cardinals to Victory

St. Louis, MO - Paul Goldschmidt and Nolan Arenado continue to be offensive juggernauts, but it was Paul DeJong who stole the show on Tuesday night. DeJong launched a three-run homer in the 7th inning, propelling the Cardinals to a 6-3 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates. The win marks the Cardinals' 5th straight, with their offensive prowess continuing to be a driving force.

Freeman's Power on Full Display

Freddie Freeman, the newly acquired first baseman, extended his home run streak to five games, a feat that hasn't been accomplished by a Cardinal since Albert Pujols achieved it in 2012. Freeman has been a revelation for the Cardinals, proving to be a consistent run producer. He finished the game with two hits, including his 12th homer of the season, and three RBIs.

"It's always nice to be hot at the plate," Freeman said after the game. "But the most important thing is that we're winning games."

Cardinals' Offense Explodes

The Cardinals' offense exploded for six runs in the game, showcasing their depth and offensive versatility. While DeJong's home run was the highlight, both Goldschmidt and Arenado contributed with two hits each, including a solo homer by Goldschmidt.

"We're starting to click as an offense," said Arenado. "We're seeing the ball well and having good at-bats."

Wainwright's Solid Performance

Adam Wainwright started the game for the Cardinals, going six innings and giving up three runs on seven hits. While not his sharpest outing, Wainwright managed to keep the Pirates' offense in check, allowing the Cardinals to capitalize on their offensive momentum.

"I wasn't my best tonight, but I was able to get through six innings," Wainwright said. "Our offense picked me up."

The Cardinals look to continue their winning ways as they host the Pirates for another game on Wednesday night. With Freeman's hot bat and the consistent offensive production from the rest of the team, the Cardinals seem poised for a strong run in the coming weeks.
