Cards Drop Series Finale To Phillies

J.T. Realmutohad two hits and scored two runs and Aaron Nolapitched six innings, leading the Philadelphia Phillies to a 4-3 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on a drizzly day Wednesday.

Realmuto was back in the starting lineup, hitting cleanup. He left Tuesday’s game after he was hit in the throat area on a Zack Wheeler wild pitch in the seventh inning.

Brandon Marsh and Nick Castellanos each drove in a run in the sixth to break a 2-2 tie.

Reliever Andre Pallante (0-1) faced four batters in the sixth and retired none to take the loss.

Starter Lance Lynn pitched five innings, allowing just one hit and two unearned runs on 94 pitches. He struck out six and walked four.

CF Dylan Carlson (sprained left AC joint) is still not cleared to resume baseball activities. Carlson still has pain and little range of motion in his shoulder.

A day off Thursday, LHP Steven Matz (1-0, 1.74) faces Arizona Friday night, 7:45 with the pregame and the first pitch at 8:40 on KIRX.
