The Marlins added a run and extended their lead to 6-4 over the Cardinals in the sixth inning.
Adeiny Hechavarria tripled with one out. The Cardinals pitched around catcher Jeff Mathis, walking him to bring up Casey McGehee, who pinch hit for pitcher Chris Narveson. McGehee hit a ground ball to Kolten Wong for a potential inning-ending double play, but he mishandled the ball and everyone was safe, including Hechavarria at the plate. It was the second error of the game for Wong.
Dee Gordon flew out to Jason Heyward in right, with Mathis tagging and going to third.
