Cody Bellinger had a grand slam and tied a career high with six RBI as the Dodgers scored 11 times in the bottom of the first — their most runs in one inning of a regular-season game since moving to Los Angeles — and the Dodgers blew out the Cardinals 14-3.
Bellinger, who missed most of the first two months due to a hairline fracture in his right leg, led the onslaught with a franchise-record six RBI in the inning. After Paul Goldschmidt homered to put St. Louis ahead 1-0, Bellinger’s two-run single gave Los Angeles a 3-1 lead. Later in the first, he hit his sixth career slam, as his drive off Jake Woodford’s fastball just cleared the wall and Justin Williams’ glove in right field.
St. Louis starter Carlos Martínez (3-5) went two-thirds of an inning. He faced 12 batters and was lifted when a walk to Turner loaded the bases. The right-hander allowed 10 runs on six hits with four walks.
LHP Andrew Miller (right foot/toe blister) threw a bullpen Tuesday at Triple-A Memphis after his rehab appearance was washed out. Shildt was optimistic but didn’t commit to the reliever coming off the injured list by the end of the weekend. Miller has been on the IL since April 29.
RHP Adam Wainwright (3-4, 4.22 ERA) gets the assignment as St. Louis begins a four-game series against Cincinnati on Thursday, 6:20 with the pregame and the first pitch at 7:10 on KIRX.
