After picking up a redeeming 14-4 win over Atlanta on Thursday night, the Phillies welcomed in the Cardinals for a Friday night battle at CBP.
Miles Mikolas got the nod for St. Louis as he opposed Philly starter Bailey Falter.
It did not take long for the Cardinals to introduce themselves to Mr. Falter. Paul Goldschmidt extended the top of the first, with a base hit. Goldschmidt continued to lead the NL in batting average after the base knock.
Nolan Arenado followed that up with a triple to bring home Goldy and give the visitors an early 1-0 lead.
