the game in the bottom half of the inning on a single from
Devers that drove in Alex Verdugo.
DeJong's homer, his fourth of the year, put the Cardinals up 2-1
in the second, and Knizner's home run extended the lead to 4-1
in the fourth. It was Knizner's second home run this season.

the sixth.
St. Louis capped the scoring with a three-run eighth. Nootbaar
doubled, took third on a wild pitch and scored on a Nolan Gorman

it 9-1.
