The St. Louis Cardinals defeat the Philadelphia Phillies 2-0 as Andre Pallante limits Philadelphia’s offense and Everson Pereira provides the decisive power. Pallante allows four hits over six innings to keep the Phillies off balance through most of the game.
Pereira delivers the Cardinals’ offense with a home run in the eighth inning. The homer lifts St. Louis to a 2-0 lead, which holds for the final score. Yahoo Sports notes Pereira hits his fifth homer of the season and his first since being claimed off waivers by the Cardinals from the Chicago White Sox on Thursday. Coverage from the two outlets aligns on the scoring, the key pitching performance, and Pereira’s eighth-inning homer as the turning point.
