Nootbaar GO-AHEAD BLAST! Cardinals Rally Past Reds 6-5 | Cards Central 365 Postgame

Lars Nootbaar is BACK! Noot delivers the go-ahead 2-run homer in the 8th to lift the St. Louis Cardinals past the Cincinnati Reds 6-5. Luke Slabaugh and Ethan Hannaford bring the energy on Cards Central 365 with a fan-first breakdown of a game that had everything: frustration, missed chances, and a late-game explosion. The Cardinals went 4-for-10 with RISP but stranded 7 runners, and none bigger than the bases-loaded, no-out disaster in the 6th. Down one run, Oli Marmol plays the matchups, but Jimmy Crooks rolls into a double play that Marmol cannot challenge, and the rally dies. That inning felt like the game… until Noot changed it. Matthew Liberatore started strong, then completely lost feel late—fastball command vanished, secondaries missed spots. He allows all 5 Reds runs (3 earned), and it’s another example of how quickly things can unravel the third time through. Jordan Walker launched his 16th homer (career-high tying), the only extra-base hit before Nootbaar flipped the night with one swing. And give the bullpen its due: 4.2 scoreless innings. That’s how you survive a night where you leave runs all over the field. This is Cardinals baseball right now: tense, but alive. And today, Nootbaar delivered the moment. On this episode: Nootbaar’s return and clutch go-ahead HR The 6th inning collapse with bases loaded, no outs Marmol’s matchup decisions under the microscope Liberatore’s middle-inning command issues Bullpen dominance keeps hope alive Subscribe for daily Cardinals coverage that treats you like part of the show. #STLCards #Cardinals #LarsNootbaar #MLB #Reds #CardinalsWin #JordanWalker #Liberatore #MLBHighlights #Baseball Learn more about your ad choices.
