Cardinals Fly By Marlins

     The St. Louis Cardinals got by the Miami Marlins 7-1 at Marlins Park on Tuesday night. The Marlins have fallen in their last six games. 
     In the second inning, the Redbirds struck first. Harrison Bader tripled into left-center field past Curtis Granderson for Kolten Wong to cross the plate.
     It was tied by Miami(23-42) in the bottom of the fourth. Miguel Rojas knocked in Harold Ramirez with a base hit to center.
     St. Louis(33-32) took a 3-1 lead during the top of the sixth. Yadier Molina lined out to short, Rojas made a error throwing the ball to first and Paul Goldschmidt scored from third. The Cardinals later loaded the bases and Bader walked for Marcell Ozuna to reach home.
     The Cardinals extended the gap to 6-1 in the eighth inning. Dexter Fowler singled to center field for Molina to score. Two batters later, pinch-hitter Jose Martinez drove in Wong and Fowler on a base hit to right.
     Ozuna added a solo home run to right field on a 0-1 pitch for St. Louis. It was his 18th homer of the season and he is now tied for first all-time with 49 home runs in Marlins Park.
