ST. LOUIS (AP) — Andre Pallante gave up four hits over
six innings and Everson Pereira homered to help the St. Louis Cardinals
beat the Philadelphia Phillies 2-0 on Tuesday night.
Pereira hit his fifth homer of the season and first since being claimed
off waivers by the Cardinals from the Chicago White Sox on Thursday in
the eighth to give St. Louis a 2-0 lead. |

Pereira, who started in center field, made a leaping catch of a
line drive at the center field wall in the top of the fifth
inning to rob Alec Bohm of an extra-base hit.
George Soriano (6-3) pitched a scoreless inning in relief of
Pallante who allowed three walks and struck out two. Riley
O’Brien pitched a scoreless ninth for his 30th save.
Ryne Stanek got Luis Arraez to ground into a 3-2-3 double play
and retired J.T. Realmuto on a fly out to deep center field
after Caleb Ferguson walked Kyle Schwarber, Trea Turner and
Bryce Harper to load the bases with no outs in the eighth
inning.
Cristopher Sánchez allowed four hits and struck out seven in six
scoreless innings, but he did not earn a decision snapping a
streak of winning five straight starts.
Winn lined a two-out single to right field in the seventh off
Alex McFarlane (0-1), who was recalled from Triple-A Lehigh
Valley prior to the game, to drive in Jordan Walker.
Walker went 0 for 2 with a seventh inning walk to snap a 10-game
hitting streak which was his major league-best fourth of at
least 10 games this season.

Phillies RHP Zack Wheeler (10-3, 2.69 ERA) is scheduled to face
Cardinals RHP Kyle Leahy (8-4, 3.45) in Wednesday’s series
finale.
