Alec Burleson went 3 for 5 for St. Louis, including his sixth home run, a solo shot in the seventh that made it 9-2. Victor Scott II — in the midst of a 5-for-35 slump — hit a two-run homer off Chicago position player Vinny Capra in the ninth.
Liberatore (4-6) gave up two runs on five hits in six innings for his first win since beating the Pirates on May 6.
Nolan Arenado singled to extend his hitting streak to seven games and spark the Cardinals’ five-run second.
