three hits for the Marlins.

Andrew Nardi followed Junk and pitched the sixth and Anthony
Bender got three outs in the seventh. Michael Petersen struck
out the side in a perfect eighth.
Ivan Herrera homered against Lake Bachar to lead off the ninth
for the Cardinals’ run. Bachar then walked Nolan Gorman and
retired José Fermin on a flyout. Pete Fairbanks relieved Bachar
and got the last two outs for his fifth save.
Owen Caissie hit an RBI single and Jakob Marsee walked with the
bases loaded against St. Louis starter Kyle Leahy (2-3) in the
second to give Miami a 2-0 advantage.
Singles from Marsee in the fourth and Ramírez in the fifth
padded the lead.
Leahy completed five innings, giving up four runs and eight
hits. He walked three, struck out two and hit a batter.
The Cardinals rested regulars Jordan Walker, Masyn Winn and Alec
Burleson. Marlins’ 2025 All-Star slugger Kyle Stowers, who began
the season on the injured list and was activated Sunday, also
had a planned day off as manager Clayton McCullough said they're
rebuilding his fitness.
