ST. LOUIS (AP) \u2014 Max Meyer gave up two hits in seven innings, leading the Miami Marlins over the St. Louis Cardinals 4-0 on Friday night to improve his record to 9-0.<\/p>\n
The Marlins scored two runs in the eighth when Graham Pauley and Kyle Stowers each drove in a run. Jakob Marsee’s two-out single off Max Rajcic in the ninth scored the final two runs.<\/p>\n
Miami has won seven of its last eight games and is 17-5 this month. The Cardinals have lost six of their last eight.<\/p>\n
Meyer, who was reinstated from the bereavement list before the start, struck out five and walked two. One of the hits against him was a bunt.<\/p>\n
Meyer remains the only qualified starter in the majors without a loss this season. He tied Livan Hern\u00e1ndez (9-0 in 1997) for the best record to open a season in Marlins history.<\/p>\n
The game was delayed by rain for 27 minutes.<\/p>\n
Reliever George Soriano (3-2) gave up two runs.<\/p>\n
St. Louis starter Michael McGreevy pitched six scoreless innings. He limited the Marlins to five hits with a walk and struck out four. In his previous start, he gave up five earned runs in five innings at Kansas City.<\/p>\n
Miami broke the scoreless game in the eighth. Esteury Ruiz, who had two hits, led off with a single and stole second. Pauley hit a 0-2 fastball down the first-base line for a run-scoring double. Pauley was recalled prior to the game from Triple-A Jacksonville.<\/p>\n
Two walks loaded the bases. Stowers hit a grounder to first. Alec Burleson touched first and then threw home. Pauley was called out but that was challenged and overturned.<\/p>\n
