Walker's 16th homer of the season came against
reliever Seranthony Dominguez (4-5) and broke a 5-5 tie. Ryan
Helsley allowed a single and walked a batter in the ninth, but
stranded both runners to earn his 11th save.
John King (2-1) got the win despite allowing a run on three hits
in the eighth inning, his only inning on the mound.
Paul Goldschmidt hit a solo home run and a two-run double for
the Cardinals (66-83). Nolan Arenado and Andrew Knizner each
added two hits.
Cardinals starter Dakota Hudson allowed three runs and five hits
over five innings, walking three and striking out three.
The Phillies trailed 5-3 until Alec Bohm hit a solo home run to
lead off the eighth. They made it 5-5 on a run-scoring single by
Nick Castellanos later in the inning.
Goldschmidt's 25th homer of the season broke a 3-3 tie in the
fifth inning. The Cardinals increased their lead to 5-3 when
Alec Burleson doubled and scored on Arenado's single.
The loss ended Philadelphia's two-game winning streak. The
Phillies (81-68) own sole possession of the first wild-card spot
in the National League by three games over the Arizona
Diamondbacks.
Phillies starter Taijuan Walker went seven innings and yielded
five runs on eight hits with three strikeouts and a walk.
The Cardinals took a 3-0 lead in the third. Goldschmidt began
the scoring with a double that drove in Juniel Querecuto and
Knizner, and Arenado followed with an RBI double that scored
Goldschmidt.
The Phillies tied the game with a three-run fourth. Bryce Harper
made it 3-1 when he scored on Bryson Stott's sacrifice; Bohm
scored on a fielder's choice; and J.T. Realmuto pulled the
Phillies even when he scored on second baseman Querecuto's
throwing error.
Bohm, Stott and Trea Turner each had two hits for the Phillies.
