Jordan Montgomery held his former team to an unearned run on
two hits over 6 2/3 innings as the St. Louis Cardinals defeated the
visiting New York Yankees 5-1 on Sunday.
Brendan Donovan went 3-for-4 with a two-run homer for the Cardinals,
who won two of three games in the series between historic
franchises.
Montgomery (6-7) walked three and struck out six while holding the
Yankees hitless into the sixth inning.
Giovanny Gallegos retired four batters in relief of Montgomery and
Jordan Hicks closed out the ninth as St. Louis held New York to
three total hits.
Yankees starting pitcher Gerrit Cole (8-2) allowed two runs on six
hits in six innings. He struck out five with two walks.
New York manager Aaron Boone was ejected in the third inning for
disputing ball-and-strike calls by home plate umpire Dan Merzel.
Donovan hit a leadoff single in the first inning and Lars Nootbaar
walked. But the inning went south when Donovan was thrown out on a
double-steal attempt.
The Cardinals moved ahead 2-0 in the fourth inning. Nolan Arenado
hit a leadoff double before singles by Alec Burleson and Jordan
Walker produced a run. One out later, Andrew Knizner hit an RBI
single, but Cole averted further trouble by getting a double-play
grounder from Tommy Edman.

Gleyber Torres broke up Montgomery's no-hit bid
with a double with two outs in the sixth inning. Torres stole third,
but Giancarlo Stanton flied out.
The Yankees ended the shutout bit in the seventh when Isiah
Kiner-Falefa scored on Jake Bauers' double to cut the deficit to
2-1. Gallegos relieved Montgomery and struck out Billy McKinney to
keep the Cardinals ahead.
The Cardinals increased their lead to 4-1 off Jimmy Cordero in the
seventh inning. Edman hit a leadoff single and Donovan followed with
his two-run blast, his ninth homer of the season.
St. Louis added an insurance run in the eighth inning. Dylan Carlson
singled, advanced to second on a wild pitch, stole third and scored
on catcher Kyle Higashioka's throwing error.
