Brusdar Graterol, Shelby Miller, Caleb Ferguson
and Tyler Cyr worked one inning each.
Cardinals starter Steven Matz (0-5) allowed one unearned run on
six hits and two walks in 4 2/3 innings. He struck out six.
Matz worked out of trouble in the first inning after Freddie
Freeman hit a one-out double. The Cardinals threatened in their
half of the inning, but Gonsolin retired Willson Contreras on a
chopper to strand two runners.
Miguel Vargas led off the second with a double and took third
when Miguel Rojas hit a one-out single. But Matz retired the
next two batters, including a strikeout of Betts, to keep the
game scoreless.
Both teams left runners in scoring position in the third inning,
and the Dodgers left a runner on second in the fourth.
The Dodgers finally broke through in the fifth inning. Betts
reached on an error leading off, moved up on a flyout and
advanced to third base on a two-out balk.
After J.D. Martinez walked, Chris Taylor lined a double to put
Los Angeles up 1-0.
The Dodgers' James Outman made a leaping catch at the center
field wall to rob Paul Goldschmidt of a solo homer in the sixth
inning.
The Dodgers pushed their lead to 5-0 in the eighth inning off
reliever Chris Stratton. Vargas hit a leadoff single, and with
two outs, David Peralta walked and Betts hit his 10th homer of
the season. Freeman followed with a double and scored on Will
Smith's single.
