PHILADELPHIA -- Phillies center fielder Odubel Herrera homered for the fifth time in six games Wednesday afternoon in a 4-3 victory over the Cardinals at Citizens Bank Park. His solo homer in the seventh inning was the game-winner.
Phils right-hander Jake Arrieta allowed three runs in six innings, handing the game to Philadelphia's struggling bullpen. Austin Davis, Edubray Ramos, Victor Arano and Adam Morgan pitched a combined three scoreless innings to preserve the win.
The Phillies have won three consecutive series for the first time since April 5-15.
