Yepez hit two home runs and drove in five runs to power the St.
Louis Cardinals past the visiting Miami Marlins 9-0 Monday night.
Paul Goldschmidt went 4-for-4 with an RBI double and a homer for the
Cardinals, and Dylan Carlson added a double and a run-scoring
triple.
Winning pitcher Adam Wainwright (6-5) allowed seven hits in his
seven scoreless innings. He struck out nine batters and walked one.
Marlins starting pitcher Pablo Lopez (5-4) allowed five runs on six
hits and a walk with five strikeouts in five innings.
Goldschmidt got the Cardinals started with his first-inning solo
homer.
The Marlins threatened in the second inning when Miguel Rojas hit a
single and took second base on a wild pitch. But Wainwright retired
the next two hitters to strand Rojas.
Jon Berti hit a third-inning single to extend his on-base streak to
24 games for the Marlins. He stole second base and appeared to take
third on a wild pitch. But the replay captured Berti coming off the
bag and the successful Cardinals challenge helped Wainwright dodge
trouble.
The Marlins threatened again in the fourth inning. Avisail Garcia
hit a leadoff single and Brian Anderson hit a two-out single, but
Wainwright struck out Bryan De La Cruz.
