Marlins Throttle Cardinals

Jesús Sánchez homered, singled twice and had four RBIs and the Miami Marlins beat St. Louis 15-2 in another short outing by Cardinals starter Adam Wainwright on Tuesday.

 

Jorge Soler and Joey Wendle each doubled twice while Garrett Cooper also went deep and had two singles for the Marlins, who finished with a season-high in runs against Wainwright and four relievers.

 

Marlins starter Jesús Luzardo (7-5) struck out eight in six scoreless innings.

 

Miami’s Luis Arraez went 1-for-3 and walked twice, dropping his major league-leading batting average to .387.

 

Wainwright (3-4) had his third consecutive outing of less than four innings. He was lifted after consecutive one-out walks in the fourth. The 41-year-old Wainwright gave up seven runs, four earned, and seven hits.

 

Position players Alec Burleson and Jacob Stallings pitched for the Cardinals and Marlins. Burleson got the last two outs in the eighth and Stallings allowed Lars Nootbaar’s RBI single and Edman’s sacrifice fly in the ninth.

 

The Cardinals have not announced a starter for the third game of the series Wednesday while the Marlins will go with RHP Bryan Hoeing (1-2, 3.72).
