Nolan Arenado belted a two-run homer, and Nolan Gorman and Tyler O'Neill each added a solo shot to fuel the visiting St. Louis Cardinals to an 11-2 victory over the Boston Red Sox on Saturday.
St. Louis' Tommy Edman and Paul Goldschmidt each had two-run singles and Arenado added an RBI single during a six-run sixth inning. Dylan Carlson and Andrew Knizner each had an RBI double, and Harrison Bader and O'Neill each had three hits to help the Cardinals snap a two-game losing skid.
Jace Peterson added a pair of hits and two RBIs. The third baseman made several athletic plays on sharply hit balls to help rookie Jason Alexander earn his first Major League win in his fourth career start. Steele didn't allow his two runs until the fifth inning. He also yielded five hits and three walks, but that was good enough to help the Cubs win their first series since May 16-18. Rafael Ortega homered and Jonathan Villar had two RBIs for Chicago, which has won back-to-back games for the first time since June 1-2.
Pinch hitter Hoskins opened the 10th with a ground-ball single to center off Reed Garrett , scoring Vierling from second to make it 2-1. Didi Gregorius had two hits for the Phillies, who have won five straight and 15 of their last 17. Michael A. Taylor scored the game's first run after smacking a one-out triple in the seventh off Oakland starter Cole Irvin . When the A's pulled the left-hander in favor of righty Domingo Acevedo, the left-handed-hitting O'Hearn was called upon to pinch hit for Emmanuel Rivera and came through with his RBI double. The pinch-hit was O'Hearn's seventh in 12 at-bats this season. He leads the majors in pinch hits.
Brandon Crawford added an RBI double and an RBI single, Luis Gonzalez had an RBI double and Darin Ruf singled home a run for the Giants, who have won seven of eight. San Francisco starter Alex Wood allowed four runs and six hits in 5 1/3 innings, with four strikeouts and two walks.
