DETROIT (AP) \u2014 Iv\u00e1n Herrera\u2019s two-run single capped a four-run fifth inning and the St. Louis Cardinals salvaged the finale of a three-game series with a 5-3 victory over the Detroit Tigers on Sunday night.<\/p>\n
Nolan Gorman, Victor Scott II and Pedro Pag\u00e9s each scored a run and knocked in another for the Cardinals.<\/p>\n
St. Louis starter Kyle Leahy (1-1) gave up two runs and five hits in five innings. Riley O\u2019Brien pitched the ninth for his second save.<\/p>\n
Kerry Carpenter led the Detroit offense with his second homer in two days. Tigers starter Keider Montero (0-1) gave up three runs \u2014 two earned \u2014 and three hits in 4 1\/3 innings.<\/p>\n
Montero was recalled from Triple-A Toledo on Saturday after Justin Verlander was placed on the 15-day injured list due to left hip inflammation. Verlander had been scheduled Sunday to make his first start at Comerica Park in a Tigers uniform since the 2017 season.<\/p>\n
Colt Keith led off the Detroit third with a single. Leahy retired the next two batters before Carpenter launched a 425-foot drive to straightaway center field to give the Tigers a 2-0 lead.<\/p>\n
The Cardinals scored their first two runs in the fifth on Pages\u2019 RBI single and Scott\u2019s squeeze bunt. Herrera smacked his two-out, two-run single off Enmanuel De Jesus.<\/p>\n
Javier B\u00e1ez\u2019s sacrifice fly in the sixth cut the Cardinals\u2019 lead to 4-3. Gorman\u2019s sacrifice fly in the eighth made it 5-3.<\/p>\n
