St. Louis(19-14) responded with three runs in the top of the third. Jedd Gyorko singled to right field which brought in Magneuris Sierra and Kolten Wong. Matt Carpenter then scored on an RBI-single by Yadier Molina to center.
The Redbirds got the lead in the sixth inning. Dexter Fowler ripped a triple into right-center field for Tommy Pham along with Sierra to cross the plate and make it 5-4. Fowler would later score on a sacrifice fly to center by Wong.
The Fish closed the gap to 6-5 in the bottom of the frame. Derek Dietrich knocked in Dee Gordon with a base hit into right field.
The Cardinals added one more run in the seventh inning. Gyorko scored on a single by Aledmys Diaz to center.
