Masyn Winn drove in two runs for St. Louis
while extending his hitting streak to 11 games with a double and
a single.
Cardinals starting pitcher Sonny Gray (6-2) allowed three runs
(one earned) on three hits in 5 2/3 innings. He struck out six
and walked two.
Relievers JoJo Romero, John King, Andrew Kittredge and Ryan
Helsley took it from there -- with Helsley earning his 14th
save.
Gunnar Henderson hit a three-run home run for the Orioles,
running his homer streak to four games.
Orioles starting pitcher Dean Kremer (3-4) allowed five runs on
six hits and three walks in four innings. He struck out two.
The Cardinals took a 1-0 lead in the second inning when Nolan
Gorman walked with one out, stole second base and scored on
Siani's two-out single.
St. Louis increased its lead to 5-0 in the fourth inning. Alec
Burleson led off the inning with a single and went to third on
Ivan Herrera's single. Winn hit a one-out RBI double, then Siani
smacked his homer.
The Orioles capitalized on two Winn errors to cut their deficit
to 5-3 in the sixth inning. Winn dropped Cedric Mullins' popup
into shallow left field leading off the inning, then one batter
later he failed to field Jorge Mateo's grounder.
Henderson made the Cardinals pay for those mistakes with a
three-run homer.
Ryan O'Hearn and Jordan Westburg his one-out singles later in
the inning, but Gray retired Anthony Santander on a flyout and
Romero got Ryan Mountcastle to hit an inning-ending groundout.
The Cardinals increased their lead to 6-3 in the seventh inning.
Paul Goldschmidt walked to lead off the inning. One out later,
Burleson hit a single and Herrera walked before Winn hit a
two-out RBI infield single.
