Adam Wainwright surrendered back-to-back singles before he secured his first out, and allowed his first run before he secured his second, so escaping the first inning with the Phillies leading 1-0 wasn't all that bad.
Wainwright's growing pitch count, however, could be a concern as the Cardinals look for a series sweep.
Tommy Joseph's RBI single to left fielder Tommy Pham scored Odubel Herrera from second base. What would have been a close play at the plate -- and perhaps an out -- was negated by an off-the-line throw by Pham.
Wainwright recovered, coaxing Michael Saunders into a groundout and striking out Maikel Franco to end the inning.
