Painter works 7 strong innings, Schwarber hits MLB-leading 38th HR as Phillies

PHILADELPHIA (AP) --- Rookie Andrew Painter pitched seven strong innings and
Kyle Schwarber hit his MLB-leading 38th homer of the season as the Philadelphia
Phillies extended their winning streak to eight games with a 12-3 rout of the
St. Louis Cardinals on Saturday night.
Every Phillies starter had at least one hit. Edmundo Sosa had two hits,
including a two-run double in the first inning. Alec Bohm also had two hits and
scored twice. Both singled and scored as part of a four-run outburst in the
third inning.
Bryce Harper hit a three-run homer in the sixth inning, his 26th of the season.
Painter (3-8) allowed one run on five hits with eight strikeouts in his longest
outing of the season. The 23-year-old right-hander had been demoted in June
after a 12-4 loss to Miami, his eighth loss in nine decisions with an ERA above
seven at the time. Since being recalled July 31, Painter has gone 2-0 in five
starts, his ERA dipping to 6.04.
With Hunter Dobbins becoming the second St. Louis starter in two days to be
placed on the injured list, the Cardinals called up highly valued lefty
prospect Quinn Mathews to make his third start in August after two previous
promotions.
Mathews (0-2) went five innings, allowing seven earned runs on 10 hits. He gave
up all the runs and hits in the first three innings before settling down.
Mathews did record three strikeouts, with Harper the victim all three times.
But the Phillies slugger took out his frustrations on reliever Ryan Fernandez
in the sixth.
St. Louis' JJ Wetherholt had a solo homer in the eighth inning, his 17th of the
season.
