Lars Nootbaar - Goes yard in win Nootbaar went 1-for-2 with a solo home run, two walks and two total runs scored in Thursday's 5-4 win over the Padres.
Impact Nootbaar snapped the Cardinals' long scoreless stretch with his fifth-inning homer. The outfielder is still mired in a brutal slump in September, going just 5-for-46 (.109), through three of those hits have been homers. The outfielder looked to have taken an everyday role in August, but he's now on the strong side of a platoon with Dylan Carlson in center field. Nootbaar is at 13 homers, 37 RBI, 46 runs scored and four stolen bases while slashing .219/.339/.438 through 304 plate appearances this year.

He's hit just five home runs this year, but three of them have come in his last 15 contests, a span in which he's added seven RBI and 12 runs scored. The rookie utility man is slashing .279/.390/.377 with 44 RBI, 56 runs scored and two stolen bases through 115 games overall.

Giovanny Gallegos - Earns 14th save Gallegos picked up the save Thursday in San Diego, striking out one in a perfect ninth inning in a 5-4 win.
Impact Gallegos needed just 10 pitches to record his 14th save of the season and first since Aug. 28. Ryan Helsley came on in the eighth inning to face the heart of the Padres' lineup, opening the opportunity for Gallegos to pick up the save. He has not allowed a baserunner in seven of his eight outings this month and is holding batters to a .197 AVG on the season.

Miles Mikolas - Takes tough-luck loss Mikolas (11-13) took the loss against San Diego on Wednesday despite allowing just an unearned run on three hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out six batters.
Impact This was one of Mikolas' best starts of the season, as it was the fifth time he's finished without surrendering an earned run and the seventh time he's allowed three or fewer hits. However, the right-hander got no run support from the St. Louis offense and was saddled with his third straight defeat. Mikolas is one of six pitchers with 13 or more losses this season, but he's the only one among that group with a sub-4.00 ERA. In fact, he has a solid 3.35 ERA on the campaign, and his 1.04 WHIP ranks within the top 20 among qualified pitchers.
