Pinch-hitter Hunter Goodman hit a two-run homer in the ninth inning, rallying the Colorado Rockies to a 6-5 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Wednesday.

With one out, Goodman connected on a 3-2 sinker from JoJo Romero (4-4) and sent it 432 feet over the center field fence to score Kyle Karros, who led off with a walk.

Alec Burleson and Lars Nootbaar each homered for St. Louis. Pedro Pagés had two hits and drove in two runs.

The Cardinals welcome the slumping New York Yankees for a three-game series starting Friday. St. Louis’ Andre Pallante (6-9, 4.95 ERA) faces Luis Gil (0-1, 7.27).
