Nolan Arenado’s three-run homer in the 10th inning lifted the St. Louis Cardinals to a 5-2 win over the slumping Miami Marlins on Tuesday night.

JoJo Romero (2-0) pitched a perfect 10th for the Cardinals, who have won four straight games.

Cardinals starter Jordan Montgomery threw 92 pitches in his first appearance since a July 7 start was cut short by right hamstring tightness. He allowed one run and six hits, struck out five and walked two.

Marlins starter Edward Cabrera was dominant in his return from the 15-day injured list as he recovered from a right shoulder impingement felt at Seattle on June 13. Cabrera, who was on a pitch count, went five-plus innings, and allowed just one run on two hits. He struck out five and walked three.

Jon Berti had three hits and scored twice for the Marlins.

Cabrera didn’t allow a hit through our innings before Alec Burleson led off the fifth with an infield single and the only hard hit ball he allowed came on his last pitch of the night on Brendan Donovan’s 388-foot homer to lead off the sixth.

Berti led off the fifth with a triple and scored on Luis Arraez’s sacrifice fly.

Donovan tied it 1-1 with his career-high 11th homer.

Berti led off the seventh with a single and scored on a Jorge Soler single. Nolan Gorman’s double in the bottom half scored Dylan Carlson from first to tie the game at 2-all.

Montgomery was able to pitch out of a two-on jam in the second, aided by a diving catch by centerfielder Lars Nootbaar to rob Dane Myers of a potential run-scoring hit.

The Marlins will send RHP Sandy Alcantara (3-8, 4.64 ERA) in the series finale against the Cardinals and Dakota Hudson (1-0, 1.80 ERA) on Wednesday. Alcantara is 1-3 with 1.24 ERA in five career starts against his former team. Hudson will make his first start of the season in what projects to be a bullpen game for St. Louis.
