Flaherty (1-0) struck out eight and did not
walk a batter.
Yadier Molina and Marcell Ozuna hit two-run homers. Ozuna also
singled and doubled, and Paul DeJong also had three hits, three
runs scored and an RBI for St. Louis in the third game of the
four-game series.
Kenta Maeda (2-1) allowed five runs and seven hits in 5 1/3
innings for the Dodgers, who have lost three in a row following
a five-game winning streak. Joc Pederson and Max Muncy hit solo
home runs for Los Angeles.
Flaherty, who grew up in the Los Angeles area, recorded 33
straight outs without allowing a run over his past three
appearances before Pederson homered with one out in the sixth to
cut the deficit to 2-1.
The Cardinals came back with three runs in their half of the
sixth.
Paul Goldschmidt led off with a single just off the glove of a
diving Chris Taylor in center. DeJong then hit a ball down the
left-field line that a diving Pederson barely missed. The ball
continued into the corner, allowing Goldschmidt to score from
first and DeJong to end up at third.
After Maeda struck out Ozuna, Molina lifted his home run barely
over the fence in left-center field for a 5-1 lead.
After Muncy homered off reliever Tyler Webb in the seventh,
Ozuna hit the left-field foul pole with two outs in the eighth
to make it 7-2.
The Cardinals took a 1-0 lead in the second after Ozuna doubled
over the head of Pederson, stole third and came home on a weak
groundout to third by Molina.
DeJong reached on an infield single to shallow shortstop to
start the fourth. Ozuna singled to right, sending DeJong to
third, but Ozuna was thrown out by right fielder Alex Verdugo
after taking a wide turn at first. After Molina flew out to
shallow right, Dexter Fowler dropped a two-out single into
right-center field to make it 2-0.
