Phillies right-hander Edubray Ramos allowed a leadoff double to Jose Martinez in the 10th, then balked to send Martinez to third. After striking out Matt Carpenter and intentionally walking Dexter Fowler to put runners at the corners with one out, Ramos airmailed a throw to first baseman Tommy Joseph, allowing Martinez to score. Another run scored on a Yadier Molina single to give the Cardinals a two-run lead.
Several other Phillies mistakes wasted an otherwise fine effort from rookie Nick Pivetta, who allowed three runs and struck out a career-high 10 batters in six innings.
