Bourn led off the game by ripping a Jake Westbrook fastball over the fence in right, and Dan Uggla’s three-run blast to left-center off Westbrook (4-4) made it 4-0 in the third.
Yadier Molina went 4-for-4 with a home run and three RBIs for St. Louis, which leads the National League with 66 homers.
Randall Delgado (3-5) went 5 1/3 innings, allowing three runs on six hits, for his first win in eight starts. Eric O'Flaherty, tossed a perfect eighth, fanning two, and Craig Kimbrel earned his 14th save in 15 tries. Kimbrel also struck out two en route to his first save since May 20.
