Schwarber, Sosa and Painter power the Phillies to a 6-5 win over the Cardinals

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Edmundo Sosa drove in three runs and Kyle Schwarber reached base four times as the Philadelphia Phillies beat the St. Louis Cardinals 6-5 on Monday night.

Phillies right-hander Andrew Painter took a no-hitter into the sixth before running out of steam. Iván Herrera’s one-out double broke up the no-hit bid and Alec Burleson followed with a two-run single that chased Painter after 93 pitches.

Painter (2-8) allowed two runs on two hits, walked three and struck out six in 5 1/3 innings as the Phillies won their second straight and for the seventh time in 10 games. Jonathan Bowland earned his first save in four chances.

Brandon Marsh singled and scored on a Hunter Dobbins throwing error, and Sosa followed with an RBI single to give the Phillies a 2-0 lead in the second inning.

Schwarber, who leads the National League with 35 homers, singled and scored in the fifth, and doubled home Garrett Stubbs in the seventh to add to the lead. Schwarber also walked twice.

A two-run double by Sosa in the eighth made it 6-2. The three-RBI night was the most for Sosa since driving in five runs against the Washington Nationals on June 23.

Burleson’s RBI double sparked a three-run rally for the Cardinals in the eighth. Masyn Winn and José Fermín followed with run-scoring hits to cut their deficit to one.

Jordan Walker extended his hitting streak to 10 games, the fourth streak of 10 of more games for him this season.

Dobbins (2-3) allowed three runs, with just one earned, in five innings. He gave up four hits, walked three and struck out six as the Cardinals lost for the second time in three games.

Phillies LHP Cristopher Sánchez (15-4, 2.65 ERA) will face Cardinals RHP Andre Pallante (12-6, 3.63 ERA) on Tuesday.

TORONTO (AP) — Charles McAdoo homered and Jameson Taillon pitched four scoreless innings before leaving with an injury as the Toronto Blue Jays beat Boston 2-1 on Monday night to hand the Red Sox their third loss in a row.

Boston's skid follows a nine-game winning streak that capped a franchise-record string of 27 victories in 30 games.

McAdoo hit his second major league home run in nine career games leading off the fifth to give Toronto a 1-0 lead. The 24-year-old rookie made his first start at third base in place of Kazuma Okamoto, a late scratch due to a bruised left knee.

Taillon gave up one hit and walked three before exiting with forearm discomfort. It was his second start for the Blue Jays and first at home since being acquired from the Chicago Cubs in a trade on Aug. 2.

Simeon Woods-Richardson (2-7) replaced Taillon to begin the fifth and gave up one run in three innings for the win. Louis Varland pitched a scoreless ninth for his 25th save.

Red Sox starter Sonny Gray (14-3) permitted two runs and six hits in six innings.

Boston trimmed it to 2-1 on a bizarre play in the seventh. With runners at the corners and one out, Ceddanne Rafaela lofted a sacrifice fly to center field. Thinking there were two outs when the ball was hit, however, neither Anthony Seigler at third base nor Nick Sogard at first tagged up properly. Both took off with the ball in the air, and after it was caught Sogard was doubled off first for the third out of the inning.

Seigler, though, crossed home plate before Sogard was put out at first. So the run counted — following a lengthy replay review.

In the Toronto sixth, George Springer was initially called out to end the inning as he tried to steal second. But the Blue Jays challenged and the call was overturned. Andrés Giménez followed with an RBI single that made it 2-0.

The Red Sox entered with the best road record in the majors at 35-22 (.614), and had won 15 of their last 16 away from Fenway Park — tied for the best 16-game road record in franchise history (also 15-1 in 1939).

Red Sox LHP Patrick Sandoval (1-0, 3.38 ERA) starts Tuesday opposite RHP Dylan Cease (7-5, 2.28) in the second game of a four-game series.
