Cardinals Crush Phillies in Series Finale | MLB News

The Cardinals crushed the Phillies 7-1 in the series finale, snapping a three-game losing streak and claiming their first three-series win of the season. Alec Burleson stole the show with three RBIs, including a clutch two-run double in the fifth inning that ignited a four-hit rally against Zack Wheeler. Rookie César Prieto broke his season-long slump with a key hit in that same inning, while Kyle Leahy anchored the pitching staff with five innings and six strikeouts. The Cardinals’ offense exploded in the fifth, setting the tone for a dominant win, and they’re now one game over .500 in the wild-card race. With the Phillies heading to Iowa for Field of Dreams and the Cardinals preparing for a Cubs showdown at Wrigley, both teams are locked in for playoff positioning as the season winds down.
