Dickerson hit a two-run homer and an RBI single to drive the St.
Louis Cardinals past the visiting Philadelphia Phillies 6-1 Monday.
Lars Nootbaar hit a solo homer for the Cardinals, who earned a split
in the four-game series. The Phillies had won five of six before
losing at St. Louis on Sunday and Monday, while the Cardinals had
dropped six of seven prior to their latest two victories.
Cardinals designated hitter Albert Pujols hit a double for his
1,378th extra base hit, which moved him past Stan Musial for third
place on baseball's all-time list.
St. Louis starting pitcher Miles Mikolas (6-7) allowed one run on
six hits in 7 1/3 innings. He struck out five batters and walked
none.
Phillies starting pitcher Aaron Nola (5-7) allowed five runs on
seven hits in seven innings. He struck out seven batters and walked
none while working at least seven innings for the seventh
consecutive game.
Philadelphia third baseman Alec Bohm suffered a left hand injury in
the second inning. After he made a head-first slide into second base
while unsuccessfully trying to extend a single into a double, Bohm
exited the game and was replaced by Yairo Munoz.
Rhys Hoskins put the Phillies up 1-0 with a homer in the first
inning. It was his third home run in seven games against St. Louis
this season.
The Cardinals mustered just one hit against Nola through the first
four innings, then they took a 3-1 lead in the fifth.
