ST. LOUIS -- Willson Contreras hit two three-run homers, Nolan Gorman also homered twice and the St. Louis Cardinals tied a franchise record by going deep seven times to power past the Los Angeles Dodgers 16-8 in a slugfest Thursday night.
Nolan Arenado added a two-run homer, and Juan Yepez and Paul DeJong each hit solo homers run for St. Louis.
The Cardinals, who have homered in a season-high seven games in a row, hit seven in a game for the first time since July 12, 1996, against the Chicago Cubs.
