The game was tied at 2 when Winn hit a two-out
drive to left-center off Matt Strahm (1-2).
Kyle Leahy (1-0) pitched 2 1/3 scoreless innings for the win.
JoJo Romero escaped a jam in the eighth, and Ryan Helsley
recorded his eighth save with a 1-2-3 ninth inning.
Cristopher Sánchez struck out eight in six innings for
Philadelphia. He allowed two runs and four hits.
The Cardinals jumped in front in the fourth. Nolan Arenado
walked, advanced to second on Willson Contreras’ flyball and
reached third on a wild pitch. He scampered home when Pedro
Pagés bounced to third for a fielder’s choice.
Arenado was originally called out on Contreras’ flyout to
center, but the call was overturned by a video review after it
was challenged by the Cardinals.
The Phillies got the run back in the bottom half. J.T. Realmuto
doubled and scored when Arenado bobbled Edmundo Sosa’s infield
single to third.
Herrera hit his fifth homer in the sixth, but the Phillies
answered again in the bottom half. Realmuto drove in Kyle
Schwarber with a fielder’s choice.
Key moment
Romero replaced Leahy with runners on first and second. He
retired Bryson Stott on a flyout to left, ending the eighth.
Key stat
Schwarber extended his on-base streak to 47 games with his
leadoff single in the sixth.
Up next
Sonny Gray (4-1, 3.50 ERA) starts on Tuesday night for the
Cardinals. Jesus Luzardo (3-0, 2.11 ERA) pitches for the
Phillies.
