Philadelphia's Garrett Stubbs had a two-run
double and Schwarber added a go-ahead RBI double in the second.
Bohm and Bryce Harper each had two hits and scored twice for the
Phillies, who have won three of their last four games.
Cristopher Sanchez (2-3) improved to 2-0 in his last three
outings after allowing two runs on five hits while striking out
six without a walk in six innings. He retired the last 12
batters he faced, and three relievers combined to get the final
nine outs without surrendering a hit or a walk.
St. Louis' Paul Goldschmidt belted a two-run homer to the
opposite field in the first inning. Nolan Arenado exited in the
seventh with lower back tightness for the Cardinals, who have
lost seven of their last nine games.
Miles Mikolas (6-10) dropped to 0-5 in his last six starts after
permitting five runs on eight hits in six innings.
Goldschmidt's 21st homer of the season staked St. Louis to an
early 2-0 lead before Philadelphia answered with three doubles
in the second off Mikolas.
Bohm ripped a one-out double and advanced to third on Brandon
Marsh's single before both players scored after Stubbs fisted a
double just inside the left-field line. Stubbs came home after
Schwarber ripped a ground-rule double, with the ball briefly
being lodged in the outfield fence, that gave the Phillies a 3-2
advantage.
Stott's sacrifice fly plated Harper in the third and Bohm
extended Philadelphia's lead to 5-2 after sending a 2-1 sinker
from Mikolas over the wall in left-center field. The homer was
the career-high 14th of the season for Bohm.
Schwarber greeted Andrew Suarez by depositing a 3-1 sinker over
the wall in right-center field. The homer was his team-leading
35th of the season and fifth in seven games.
Harper legged out a triple later in the seventh and scored on
Nick Castellanos' double to cap the scoring.
Nine of Philadelphia's 11 hits went for extra bases.
