Victor Scott II and Tommy Pham each hit two-run homers, Sammy Gray pitched seven innings and the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Tampa Bay Rays 4-3 on Tuesday night in the opener of a three-game series.
Scott, who was recalled from Triple-A Memphis on Sunday, hit his first big league homer in the four-run second inning.
Pham, who was acquired from the White Sox at the trading deadline, added a double in a 2-for-4 night. He has four multi-hit games in his eight games played since the deal.
Gray (11-6) gave up four hits and struck out six, giving him 32 in his last four starts.
Ryan Helsley gave up a run in the ninth but finally shut things down and picked up his 35th save.
Michael Siani (oblique strain) got a PRP injection in his oblique and the club is monitoring his recovery. He has been able to do some light running, lifting and core work. There is no real timeline for his return.
RHP Erick Fedde (7-5, 3.34) will be making his second career start against the Rays tonight, 5:50 with the pregame and the first pitch at 6:45 on KIRX.
