Cueto also ended up against the screen, furiously kicking players away. The altercation lasted seven minutes. Play resumed and Phillips grounded out.
Molina had a satisfying moment in the second inning, hitting a solo homer that put the Cardinals up 2-0. He pumped his arms while rounding the bases and exchanged joyous slaps in the dugout. He also singled and had a sacrifice fly off Cueto that made it 5-2 in the sixth.
Drew Stubbs' bases-loaded single in the sixth off Fernando Salas cut it to 5-4, but Holliday matched it an inning later, after Logan Ondrusek intentionally walked Albert Pujols to load the bases.
Phillips drove in a run with a groundout in the third. That's been the highlight of the series for Phillips, who is 1 for 10 in the two games.
