St. Louis scored three runs off John Curtiss in
the ninth, on Victor Scott II's two-run homer and Pedro Pagés'
run-scoring single. The Cardinals have lost four of six.
Pfaadt tossed a career-high eight innings against San Diego in
his last start before the All-Star break, allowing two runs on
four hits.
The right-hander allowed two hits through the first six innings
before the Cardinals got two on in the seventh. Pfaadt struck
out Jordan Walker and got Pagés on a weak fly to center to end
the inning.
Pallante allowed seven runs on eight hits in six innings against
Washington in his last start before the All-Star break.
The right-hander kicked off the second half of the season with
another shaky outing.
Herrera hit a run-scoring single off Pallante in the second
inning and Perdomo followed with a two-run single. Del Castillo
had a run-scoring single in the third, followed by Alek Thomas'
RBI groundout.
Blaze Alexander chased Pallante with a run-scoring double that
put Arizona up 6-0 in the fifth.
Pallante allowed six runs on nine hits in 4 2/3 innings.
Key moment
Thomas made an acrobatic catch against the wall in left-center
to rob Walker of extra bases in the fifth inning.
Key stat
The Cardinals went 2 for 9 with runners in scoring position.
