Major League Baseball Cardinals player Lars Nootvar went 26-for-4 against the Guardians in Cleveland on the 3th, but the team lost by one run.

Trailing by four runs, Wright hit again in his third at-bat in the sixth inning, followed by a sacrifice fly to homer for the team's first run.
In the fourth at-bat of the seventh inning, he hit a foreball, and in the fifth at-bat of the ninth inning, he hit a timely two-base hit that hit the left field fence from second base with one out to close the gap to one run, but the follow-up collapsed and the Cardinals lost 1-1.
Nootvar went 1-for-3 with one RBI for his 2th multi-hit game of the season, raising his batting average to 2-for-5 with five doubles.
