Things may be looking up for the St. Louis Cardinals.
Having started off the year 3-7, the team was in desperate need of a win.
They struck early thanks to home runs by Tommy Edman and Juan Yepez, but fell into a 6-2 hole after another rough start by Miles Mikolas.
But Nolan Arenado tied the game with a bases-clearing double in the top of the seventh.
In the top of the ninth, Nolan Gorman kicked things off with a go-ahead home run before St. Louis added two more.
And thanks to yeomen work from the bullpen, the team was able to complete the comeback.
On Twitter, Bally Sports Midwest posted a graphic featuring the final score to celebrate a much-needed win.

The record may still be 4-7, but the Cardinals were in desperate need of a win.
Finally, their offense produced the way most around the game thought it would.
Timely hits had eluded them, but the Cards began to chip away and ultimately pulled out the win.
Now, instead of trying to avoid a sweep, they’ll go for a series win on Wednesday with Jack Flaherty on the mound.
This was a huge win for the Cardinals, who desperately needed some good luck after losing seven of their first 10 games.
Fortunately, the bats woke up on Tuesday and gave the team a much-needed lift at Coors Field, helping them bust out of their funk.
With the win, St. Louis kept pace with the Milwaukee Brewers in the NL Central, remaining four games back of first place.
