Cody Bellinger drove in three runs, Paul Goldschmidt had three hits against his former team and the New York Yankees beat the St. Louis Cardinals 8-4 on Sunday for a series sweep.
Second baseman Thomas Saggese made two errors in the Yankees’ four-run ninth. He threw wildly to first, and leadoff batter José Caballero took second and then third on a passed ball.
Walks to pinch-hitter Giancarlo Stanton and Aaron Judge loaded the bases. Saggese let Bellinger’s grounder get by him for two runs. Judge then scored on a fielder’s choice. Goldschmidt, who played for St. Louis from 2019-24, hit his second double for the final run.
Luke Weaver (3-3) pitched the final 1 1/3 innings. JoJo Romero (4-5) took the loss.
St. Louis was wept for the sixth time this season. The Cardinals were last swept by the Yankees on April 14-16, 2017, in New York.
The Yankees are off Monday. LHP Carlos Rodón (12-7, 3.25 ERA) was set to oppose Rays RHP Shane Baz (8-9, 4.93) on Tuesday night at Tampa.
