LOS ANGELES • With a breeze of runs at his back, Mike Leake has carried a one-hitter into the bottom of the fifth inning.
His opposite has already returned to the clubhouse.
The Cardinals reached Dodgers starter Rich Hill -- a former spring-training invite for the Cardinals -- for five runs through five innings and a 5-0 lead entering the bottom of the fifth inning. The Cardinals added a three-run burst in the fifth inning that chased Hill from the game with a runner at third base who was also about to score.
Two of the runs scored on an error by rookie Cody Bellinger in left field.
