Schwarber's 38th homer helps Philly keep streak rolling
Andrew Painter allowed one run in seven innings as Philadelphia scored 12 runs and stretched its winning streak to eight games.
- On Saturday, the Philadelphia Phillies extended their winning streak to eight games with a 12-3 rout of the St. Louis Cardinals, powered by Kyle Schwarber's MLB-leading 38th homer and seven strong innings from rookie Andrew Painter.
- Since his July 31 recall, Painter has gone 2-0 in five starts; the Cardinals called up prospect Quinn Mathews after placing Hunter Dobbins on the injured list, the second starter lost in two days.
- Every Phillies starter recorded at least one hit, with Bryce Harper hitting his 26th homer and Edmundo Sosa adding a two-run double in the third-inning outburst; Alec Bohm contributed two hits and scored twice.
- Mathews struggled in his third August start, allowing seven earned runs on 10 hits across five innings, though he did record three strikeouts with Harper as the victim all three times.
- In the finale of the three-game series, Cardinals RHP Kyle Leahy will face Phillies LHP Cristopher Sánchez in a matchup of contrasting momentum.
