That was more than enough for Maholm, who allowed the leadoff hitter to reach in each of the first three innings but escaped unscathed each time.
Pinch-hitter Donovan Solano tripled and scored on Emilio Bonifacio's grounder in the sixth for Miami's first run.
NOTES: RHP Ryan Dempster is scheduled to start for the Cubs when they open a three-game series at St. Louis on Friday night. Dempster (5-3), who is working on a 33-inning scoreless streak and a major league-best 1.86 ERA, is expected to be traded before the July 31 non-waiver deadline, but said before Thursday's game he didn't know of any imminent deals. "I'm sure if they have something they'll come to me," said Dempster, who can veto any trade. "But right now I'm just worried about trying to get ready for tomorrow's game." Kyle Lohse (9-2, 2.80 ERA) will start for the Cardinals. ... Miami travels to Pittsburgh to face the Pirates. RHP Ricky Nolasco (8-7, 4.47 ERA) and Pirates RHP Kevin Correia (6-6, 4.25 ERA) are slated to meet in Friday night's series opener.
