Overview

• The St. Louis Cardinals snapped their late-July slump with a 7-1 victory over the Miami Marlins at Busch Stadium.
• Right-hander Andre Pallante delivered a seven-inning, one-hit masterpiece with four strikeouts and retired the first 10 batters he faced.
• Alec Burleson hit a 411-foot solo home run—the 14th of his season—and Masyn Winn broke open the game with a three-run double in the seventh inning.
• Marlins starter Edward Cabrera allowed two runs (one earned) on three hits in six innings, remaining a trade-deadline candidate despite his quality start.
• The victory lifts St. Louis back into the National League wild-card mix ahead of Tuesday’s series finale.
