Gorman hit a two-run home run as a pinch hitter in Friday's 8-6 win over the Red Sox.

Gorman's ninth-inning blast off Kenley Jansen provided the Cardinals with their margin of victory. With St. Louis using Willson Contreras as the full-time designated hitter, Gorman has slipped into a strong-side platoon role, primarily playing at second base and occasionally at third. He can still provide some pop off the bench, as evidenced Friday. The 23-year-old is slashing .261/.352/.550 with nine homers, 26 RBI, 12 runs scored and three stolen bases through 128 plate appearances.
