ST. LOUIS (AP) --- Edmundo Sosa drove in three runs and Kyle Schwarber reached
base four times as the Philadelphia Phillies beat the St. Louis Cardinals 6-5
on Monday night.
Phillies right-hander Andrew Painter took a no-hitter into the sixth before
running out of steam. Ivn Herrera's one-out double broke up the no-hit bid and
Alec Burleson followed with a two-run single that chased Painter after 93
pitches.
Painter (2-8) allowed two runs on two hits, walked three and struck out six in
5 1/3 innings as the Phillies won their second straight and for the seventh
time in 10 games. Jonathan Bowland earned his first save in four chances.
Brandon Marsh singled and scored on a Hunter Dobbins throwing error, and Sosa
followed with an RBI single to give the Phillies a 2-0 lead in the second
inning.
Schwarber, who leads the National League with 35 homers, singled and scored in
the fifth, and doubled home Garrett Stubbs in the seventh to add to the lead.
Schwarber also walked twice.
A two-run double by Sosa in the eighth made it 6-2. The three-RBI night was the
most for Sosa since driving in five runs against the Washington Nationals on
June 23.
Burleson's RBI double sparked a three-run rally for the Cardinals in the
eighth. Masyn Winn and Jos Fermn followed with run-scoring hits to cut their
deficit to one.
Jordan Walker extended his hitting streak to 10 games, the fourth streak of 10
of more games for him this season.
Dobbins (2-3) allowed three runs, with just one earned, in five innings. He
gave up four hits, walked three and struck out six as the Cardinals lost for
the second time in three games.
Up next
Phillies LHP Cristopher Snchez (15-4, 2.65 ERA) will face Cardinals RHP Andre
Pallante (12-6, 3.63 ERA) on Tuesday.
