Cardinals Extend MLB-Leading Win Streak to Nine with 3-2 Win Over Phillies

Masyn Winn's seventh-inning home run was the decisive hit in the St. Louis Cardinals' 3-2 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies, extending their winning streak to nine games. Ivan Herrera also contributed a home run, while Lars Nootbaar had two hits in the Cardinals' total of five. The Cardinals took an early lead in the fourth inning, aided by a video review overturning an out call on Nolan Arenado, and the Phillies responded twice with runs driven in by J.T. Realmuto. Kyle Leahy and JoJo Romero provided strong relief pitching, preserving the lead before Ryan Helsley secured his eighth save with a scoreless ninth inning. Phillies starter Cristopher Sánchez struck out eight over six innings but allowed two runs, while the Cardinals' bullpen was pivotal in maintaining the narrow lead against a competitive Phillies lineup.
