Nick Pivetta had it from the get-go. He pounded Carpenter low-and-away, changed his eye level with a high fastball, then made him look foolish as he swung through a curveball in the dirt. He then busted Pham and Martinez inside and induced a pair of pop outs to RF & 2B, respectively. All told, he threw 14 pitches.
The Phillies torched Miles Mikolas in the bottom half. The Cardinal righty got ahead of Cesar Hernandez 0-2 initially, but nibbled with a trio of non-competitive breaking balls before serving up a fastball that the Phillie second baseman pulled to RF for a leadoff single.
