The Cardinals broke out to a 2-0 lead in the second inning. Dylan Carlson hit a single, Nolan Gorman walked and they advanced on a flyout. Carlson scored on a wild pitch and Gorman scored on Michael Siani's fielder's-choice grounder.
St. Louis extended its lead to 5-0 in the third inning.
Paul Goldschmidt and Burleson hit singles and Carlson walked to load the bases. With two outs, Pages drove in all three with a double.

The Angels reduced their deficit to 5-4 in the fourth inning. With one out, Willie Calhoun and Kevin Pillar hit singles and O'Hoppe launched his three-run homer, his third long ball of the season.
Los Angeles tied the score 5-5 in the fifth inning. Schanuel hit a single and moved to third on Luis Guillorme's single. Schanuel scored on Taylor Ward's sacrifice fly.
The Cardinals regained the lead 7-5 in the seventh inning. Nolan Arenado singled off Strickland, then scored on Burleson's two-run homer off Amir Garrett.
The Angels countered in the bottom of the inning on a ground-rule double by Ward and Pillar's RBI single.
Los Angeles loaded the bases with one out in the eighth inning, but Guillorme's failed squeeze bunt derailed the rally.
