Juan Soto hit a game-tying double in the
three-run third off St. Louis starter Erick Fedde before Wells
hit his 11th homer of the season to give New York a 4-2 lead.
Wells added his second homer with two outs in the eighth for a
6-3 lead.
Stroman allowed two runs and survived tying a season high by
allowing nine hits while completing seven innings for the first
time since May 31 at San Francisco. The right-hander struck out
five, walked none and got seven groundouts, including double
plays from Pedro Pages and Lars Nootbaar in the fourth and
sixth, respectively.
Soto tied the score when he hit a double to the bottom of the
center field wall with one out in the third to score Gleyber
Torres from first base. After Fedde retired Aaron Judge, Wells
hit an 0-1 changeup into the right-center field seats just over
leaping right fielder Jordan Walker.
Soto also might have prevented a run in the fifth with an
outfield assist.
With one out, Alec Burleson singled to right, but Soto played
the ball cleanly off the wall. He made a strong throw to
shortstop Anthony Volpe, who tagged out Burleson as the St.
Louis designated hitter overslid second.
It was Soto's 10th outfield assist this season, matching his
total from last season, when he played 154 games in the outfield
for the San Diego Padres.
Giancarlo Stanton doubled and scored on a sacrifice fly by Volpe
in the second as the Yankees won for the sixth time in nine
games and improved to 19-11 in their past 30.
Paul Goldschmidt had three hits off Stroman and his RBI single
put the Cardinals ahead 2-1 in the third. Brendan Donovan also
had a run-scoring single for the Cardinals, who are 0-7 all-time
in the regular season against the Yankees in New York.
Nolan Arenado homered with two outs in the eighth off Jake
Cousins. Tommy Kahnle got the last out of the eighth and Clay
Holmes converted his 29th save.
Fedde allowed four runs on four hits in 5 1/3 innings. The
right-hander struck out eight, walked one and fell to 1-4 since
being acquired from the Chicago White Sox at the trade deadline.
