Cardinals' Nolan Arenado: Smashes home run

Arenado went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in a loss to the Pirates on Thursday.

Arenado opened the scoring Thursday night with a first inning, two-run home run off Pirates starter Mitch Keller. The veteran third-baseman has collected just one multi-hit outing over his past nine games, while this was his first home run since Aug. 15 against Kansas City.
