But his 377-foot blast on Sunday came at the very painful expense of a fan.

Watch the painful Nolan Arenado home run

This comes just one day after Arenado powered the Cardinals to a 6-2 victory on Saturday. Two doubles and a single from the infielder accounted for three of those runs while Arenado scored two runs as a base runner himself.

Sunday’s home run put the Cardinals up 3-0 in the first inning. Just when it looked like St. Louis would rout the Pirates for the third time in their season-opening series, Pittsburgh stormed back to take a 5-3 lead in the third inning. They increased the advantage to 8-3 by the seventh inning.

The series will the Pirates will end on Monday. Then St. Louis will welcome the Royals for a short two-game series in the middle of the week. They’ll travel to Milwaukee to begin their first road trip of the campaign on Thursday.

Next. Anyone who doubted Nolan Arenado looks silly now. dark
