| Pallante struck out four, walked one and threw 
				49 of his 81 pitches for strikes.
 Alec Burleson hit his 14th homer this season and second in as 
				many games for the Cardinals, a 411-foot drive to center in the 
				third inning off a 97 mph fastball from Edward Cabrera (4-5)
 
 Cabrera allowed a pair of runs (one earned) on three hits in six 
				innings. He struck out four and walked three.
 
 Steven Matz allowed one hit in a scoreless eighth and Matt 
				Svanson allowed a walk and a pair of hits, including an RBI 
				single by Agustín Ramírez, in the ninth.
 
 Miami dropped its second straight game after having a four-game 
				winning streak end on Sunday.
 
 Yohel Pozo made it 2-0 in the fourth when he doubled, took third 
				on a wild pitch and scored when Ramírez’s throw sailed past 
				third baseman Pauley.
 
 The Cardinals broke it open with a five-run seventh. Burleson 
				drove in a run by reaching on a bases-loaded catcher’s 
				interference, Masyn Winn followed with a three-run double and 
				Jordan Walker drove in Winn with a double.
 
 Key moment
 Pauley lined Pallante's 94 mph fastball into right field leading 
				off the sixth to end the no-hit bid.
 
 Key stat
 Pallante had gone 0-3 with a 9.76 ERA in his previous three 
				starts, giving up eight or more hits each time.
 
 Up next
 The Marlins will start RHP Sandy Alcantara (5-9, 6.66 ERA) 
				against Cardinals RHP Sonny Gray (10-4, 4.33) as the series 
				continues on Tuesday.
