The Miami Marlins disposed of the St. Louis Cardinals 11-3 on Wednesday night at Busch Stadium. The Marlins won their second straight contest after losing six consecutive games prior to that.
The Redbirds announced at the start of the game that St. Louis Cardinals legend Red Schoendienst passed away at the age of 95. He was the oldest living member of the Baseball Hall of Fame.
Miami(22-39) went out in front 3-0 in the third inning and never looked back. Derek Dietrich smacked a two-run homer to right field on a 0-1 pitch with Starlin Castro scoring in front of him. Brian Anderson grounded into a fielder's choice for J.T. Realmuto to score.
The Cardinals answered back in the bottom of the third. Jose Martinez doubled to left and Tommy Pham got their first run of the game. St. Louis(32-27) made it 3-2 during the fourth when Yario Munoz hit a sacrifice fly into right field to score Harrison Bader.
In the fifth inning, the Marlins piled on three more runs. Anderson drove in Dietrich with a double to center field. Bour scored on a throwing error by Munoz during a Miguel Rojas at-bat. J.T. Riddle later singled in Anderson with a hit into center.
After the Fish put up two runs in the sixth, they added two runs in the top of the seventh for an eight-run margin. Lewis Brinson would connect on a solo home run to left on a 1-1 count to begin the seventh.
The Cards generated one more run in the bottom of the seventh. Martinez got another RBI on a single to right and Matt Carpenter crossed the plate. Brinson whacked his second homer of the game for Miami in the eighth inning on a 1-0 pitch.
