On the third McLaughlin was animated: “Goldschmidt ... high drive OUT TO LEFT. Yo-u-u-u-u-u bet he’s done it! He’s done it! Three home runs! Goldschmidt, three home-run night! THREE! Count ’em up! In his second game as a Cardinal! Three home runs! Goldschmidt!”
McLaughlin was at it again Wednesday, while the Cardinals were rallying to win after trailing 3-0 in the seventh inning to beat Pittsburgh after overcoming a 4-0 deficit in the seventh to win Monday afternoon against the Pirates. He had another turbo-charged call when Harrison Bader blasted a two-run homer in the eighth to tie the game.
