BOSTON (AP) -- Nolan Arenado hit a two-run homer over the Green Monster in the first inning and the St. Louis Cardinals broke it open with a six-run sixth in an 11-2 victory over the Boston Red Sox.

Nolan Gorman and Tyler O'Neill both had a solo shot for the Cardinals, who rebounded after losing the opener of the three-game series.

Paul Goldschmidt and Tommy Edman each had a two-run single during the big inning. The Red Sox lost for just the fourth time in 16 games.
