After getting a 1-0 win Saturday, the Los Angeles Dodgers relied on small ball again in their 6-3 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday.

Noah Syndergaard got his first win in a Dodgers uniform while the lineup got some timely hits and took advantage of mistakes by St. Louis pitchers, including eight walks.

On a day when the Dodgers were 1 for 15 with runners in scoring position, David Peralta epitomized what type of game it was. He drove in two runs, but both came on ground outs.

Chris Taylor's double in the fourth inning was the only Dodgers' run to come in via a hit. Three came in via ground outs, one on a sacrifice fly and the go-ahead run crossed the plate after a wild pitch.

The Dodgers have gone deep in 22 of their 28 games this season. Sunday though marked the first time they have not homered in consecutive games.

After getting off to a slow start, the Dodgers have won seven of their last 10 and posted their first three-game series sweep of the season.

Syndergaard (1-3), who signed a one-year contract during the offseason, allowed three runs on eight hits in 5 1/3 innings.

St. Louis was swept in a series for the second time this season and went 2-8 on its season-long 11-day, 10-game road trip. At 10-19, the Cardinals are 10 games behind Pittsburgh in the NL Central. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, it is the first time since 1907 St. Louis has been at least 10 games behind the division leader at the end of April.

The game was tied at 3 in the fifth inning when the Dodgers plated the go-ahead runs. Will Smith led off with a double before Zack Thompson (1-2) walked Max Muncy and Jason Heyward to load the bases. After James Outman struck out, Drew VerHagen came on and threw a wild pitch on a sweeper with a 2-2 count to score Smith.

Muncy made it 5-3 when he came across on Peralta's grounder. Peralta also had an RBI grounder in the fourth inning.

Evan Phillips worked a scoreless ninth for his third save.

The Cardinals took a 2-0 lead in the second on Dylan Carlson's sacrifice fly and an RBI single by Brandon Donovan, but were unable to make it stand.

After an off day, St. Louis returns home to begin a three-game series against the Los Angeles Angels. LHP Steven Matz (0-3, 6.23 ERA) takes the mound Tuesday against LHP Patrick Sandoval (2-1, 3.16).
