The game was tied at 2 when Winn hit a two-out drive to left-center off Matt Strahm (1-2).<\/p>\n
Kyle Leahy (1-0) pitched 2 1\/3 scoreless innings for the win. JoJo Romero escaped a jam in the eighth, and Ryan Helsley recorded his eighth save with a 1-2-3 ninth inning.<\/p>\n
Cristopher S\u00e1nchez struck out eight in six innings for Philadelphia. He allowed two runs and four hits.<\/p>\n
The Cardinals jumped in front in the fourth. Nolan Arenado walked, advanced to second on Willson Contreras\u2019 flyball and reached third on a wild pitch. He scampered home when Pedro Pag\u00e9s bounced to third for a fielder\u2019s choice.<\/p>\n
Arenado was originally called out on Contreras\u2019 flyout to center, but the call was overturned by a video review after it was challenged by the Cardinals.<\/p>\n
