The Dodgers lost their third straight game. Shohei Ohtani was 0 for 5 with a strikeout.

Matthew Liberatore (1-1) rebounded from his worst outing of the season by allowing two runs on four hits in 5 2/3 innings.
The Cardinals scored four runs on eight hits off Emmet Sheehan (2-1). He struck out eight with no walks.
Walker’s double in the seventh drove in two runs off Edgardo Henriquez. He scored on a fielder’s choice to make it 7-2.
