Matt Strahm, Gregory Soto, Seranthony Dominguez
and Jeff Hoffman combined to close out the victory. Hoffman
earned his first save of the season.
Cardinals starting pitcher Lance Lynn held the Phillies to one
hit and two unearned runs in five innings. He struck out six
batters and walked four.
Reliever Andre Pallante (0-1) allowed two sixth-inning runs to
take the loss.
Ivan Herrera and Brendan Donovan hit solo homers for the
Cardinals.
The Phillies took advantage of a fielding mishap to take a 2-0
first-inning lead.
Kyle Schwarber drew a leadoff walk and scored when J.T. Realmuto
hit a two-out fly ball that center fielder Victor Scott II
failed to catch on the warning track. Alec Bohm followed with a
single up the middle to score Realmuto.
Herrera cut the Phillies' lead to 2-1 with his second-inning
homer.
Philadelphia threatened in the third inning when Trea Turner and
Bryce Harper drew one-out walks. But Realmuto popped out and
Bohm struck out to strand them.
Donovan's homer tied the score 2-2 in the bottom of the third
inning.
The Phillies moved ahead 4-2 in the sixth inning. Realmuto led
off with a single, then Bohm walked, and Brandon Marsh and Nick
Castellanos followed with RBI singles. Zack Thompson relieved
Pallante and allowed a one-out single to Johan Rojas before
striking out Schwarber and Turner to leave the bases loaded.
Scott led off the eighth inning with an infield single, but he
was thrown out after curving into fair territory. With two outs,
Willson Contreras singled and Nolan Gorman walked. Dominguez
relieved Soto and allowed Nolan Arenado's RBI single before
retiring Herrera on a tapper back to the mound.
