The Philadelphia Phillies beat the St. Louis Cardinals 6-5 on Monday night. Edmundo Sosa drove in three runs and Kyle Schwarber reached base four times to power the Phillies to their seventh win in 10 games.
Game Highlights
Phillies right-hander Andrew Painter took a no-hitter into the sixth inning before running out of steam. Iván Herrera’s one-out double broke up the no-hit bid, and Alec Burleson followed with a two-run single that chased Painter after 93 pitches.
Brandon Marsh singled and scored on a Hunter Dobbins throwing error, and Sosa followed with an RBI single to give the Phillies a 2-0 lead in the second inning. Schwarber, who leads the National League with 35 home runs, singled and scored in the fifth and doubled home Garrett Stubbs in the seventh to add to the lead.
A two-run double by Sosa in the eighth made it 6-2. The three-RBI night was the most for Sosa since driving in five runs against the Washington Nationals on June 23.
