Ozuna got the his first of his career in the 10th inning

ST. LOUIS (AP) Marcell Ozuna had always dreamed of hitting a game-ending homer Matt Williams Jersey , and finally did it. Monday night, and the St. Louis Cardinals snapped Colorado’s four-game win streak with a 5-4 victory over the Rockies.”I’ve been working on it so many times,” Ozuna said. ”I was in that situation before and I couldn’t get it. Today was the time.”Ozuna connected against Jake McGee (1-4), sending a one-out drive deep to center for his 13th homer of the season. The slugger also extended his homer streak to three straight games.”Missed my spot over the middle of the plate. He was looking fastball too,” McGee said. ”Got to be a little more careful especially with a home run hitter like that.”Dakota Hudson (1-0) got three outs for his first career win.St. Louis has won eight games on game-ending hits this season and has won three of its last four contests.Colorado took a 4-0 lead when Nolan Arenado hit his fifth career grand slam in the fifth inning off Daniel Poncedeleon, who replaced Carlos Martinez when the right-hander departed with a mild shoulder strain with two outs.Arenado went deep for the third time in four games. The drive to center gave him 79 RBIs, one behind Cincinnati’s Eugenio Suarez for the National League lead.Martinez was activated from the disabled list prior to the game. He missed his previous start with a right oblique strain.”He just said my shoulder is sore but I can still go,” Cardinals interim manager Mike Shildt said. ”The velocity was down a little bit. We just looked at it and went out and the rest was what it was.”Colorado left-hander Tyler Anderson allowed four runs in six-plus innings. He was replaced by Scott Oberg after he walked the first three batters in the seventh.”That ended up costing us the game so it’s obviously pretty bad http://www.giantsfanproshop.com/authentic-evan-longoria-jersey ,” Anderson said. ”I just felt like I didn’t know where the ball was going there.”Dexter Fowler then struck out, but Harrison Bader walked and Matt Carpenter hit a tying two-run single with two out.Charlie Blackmon singled off Martinez in the fifth to extend his hitting streak to 12 games, matching his season high.Gerardo Parra initially scored on a pitch from Poncedeleon to Anderson that sailed to the backstop in the sixth inning. The call was overturned after the Cardinals challenged the ruling on the field that Parra evaded Poncedeleon’s tag.Jedd Gyorko homered in the fifth inning for St. Louis. It was Gyorko’s first since July 5 and No. 8 on the season.”That’s a huge answer right there,” Shildt said. ”Come back, it’s 4-1 and get them on their heels a little bit.”TRAINER’S ROOMRockies: RHP Chad Bettis (right middle finger blister) threw a pregame side session. He is scheduled for a rehab start with Triple-A Albuquerque on Thursday.Cardinals: RHP Luke Gregerson was placed on the 10-day disabled list with a right shoulder impingement. This is the third stint on the disabled list for Gregerson, who missed 52 games with the same injury from May 16 through July 13. LHP Chasen Shreve was added to the roster after he was acquired in a trade with the New York Yankees on Saturday, and LHP Tyler Webb was optioned to Triple-A Memphis.UP NEXTRockies RHP Jon Gray (8-7, 5.16 ERA) will face Cardinals RHP Jack Flaherty (4-5 Willie Mays Jersey , 3.28 ERA) in the second game of the four-game series Tuesday night.

He has failed to pitch into the sixth inning in his last four starts.— But according to his agent, Castellanos is ready to move on."There are two very different sides to the Nicholas Castellanos trade rumor saga. This week, both of them decided to become more vocal. Castellanos has been considered a candidate for trade this offseason, and has seemed like a likely target to be moved considering he is quickly approaching free agency and the Tigers do not appear interested in extending him. It seems like a foregone conclusion that Castellanos will be moved by the July 31 trade deadline, which has had many wondering why Tigers general manager Al Avila doesn’t move Castellanos sooner and get a better return.The answer, at least according to Avila himself, is that no one is interested. During a press event on Thursday, ahead of the Tigers annual winter caravan http://www.giantsfanproshop.com/authentic-evan-longoria-jersey , Avila was incredibly candid with the amassed media.Avila seems to be pointing a finger at the stalled free agent market, where teams are biding their time to see who will go for broke and sign superstar outfielder Bryce Harper. In the meantime, it seems there isn’t much interest in a 130 wRC+ hitter with tepid defensive skills. Castellanos, on the other hand, seems ready to say goodbye to his current club. The 26-year-old wants to win, an adage we have certainly heard before from exiting powerhouse bats like J.D. Martinez. According to Castellanos’ agent, David Meter, in a discussion with the Free Press’s Anthony Fenech Barry Bonds Jersey , “[Castellanos] wants to win and understands the direction of the franchise right now is to procure prospects. That being said, he would rather start with his new club going into spring training.”He isn’t wrong in his view on the club’s current status. Another telling bit from Avila’s chat with the press was his admission that the team would not be paying for big-time free agents in the near future.This, of course, represents a time when several of the heftier Tigers contracts will be winding down or off the books entirely. However, it also indicates that very little will be spent to put a competitive team on the field in the meantime. Castellanos may be right to move on now, but if Avila’s measure on the market is correct, the change of venue may not be up to either of them.
