St. Louis starter Lance Lynn allowed four
unearned runs on three hits and two walks in four-plus innings.
He struck out four. Relievers Matthew Liberatore, Ryan
Fernandez, JoJo Romero, Andrew Kittredge and John King (2-1)
combined for five shutout innings to get the game into extra
innings.
Ryan Helsley shut down the Phillies in the 10th inning for his
19th save of the season.
Bryson Stott drove in two runs for the Phillies, while Nick
Castellanos went 2-for-5 with a run, recording his 1,500th
career hit in the process.
Phillies starting pitcher Taijuan Walker allowed four runs on
five hits and three walks in five innings. He fanned five. Matt
Strahm, Orion Kerkering, Jeff Hoffman and Jose Alvarado each
pitched a scoreless inning of relief for Philadelphia.
Gregory Soto (1-3) took the loss, which was compounded by the
loss of outfielder Brandon Marsh, who suffered a right hamstring
strain while running the bases in the eighth inning.
St. Louis took a 2-0 lead in the first. Masyn Winn led off the
game with a single, and Gorman lifted a two-out homer to right.
The Phillies exploited a Cardinals fielding mishap to tie the
game at 2-2 in the second inning. Marsh walked and Castellanos
reached on Winn's fielding error on a potential double-play
grounder.
Garrett Stubbs capitalized with an RBI double, and Johan Rojas
added a run-scoring groundout.
The Cardinals went back in front in the third inning when Winn
walked and Burleson hit his homer for a 4-2 lead.
Philadelphia played small ball while tying the game at 4-all in
the fifth. Stubbs and Rojas reached base on bunts that the
Cardinals mishandled. Kyle Schwarber then lined a single to
right to load the bases, and Stott hit a two-run single to chase
Lynn.
Gorman hit a two-out RBI single in the 10th inning to put the
Cardinals up 5-4.
