Cardinals overcame a four-run deficit for the second game in a row, rallying
past Miami 7-5 on Wednesday night to complete a trip that by one measure ranked
as the franchise’s best ever.
The Cardinals went 6-0 on their swing through Atlanta and Miami. It’s the first
time they’ve gone undefeated on a trip of at least six games in their 126-year
history, the team said, citing information from Elias.
Lance Lynn gave up four runs in the first inning on homers by Christian Yelich
and Justin Bour, but for the second consecutive game, Fowler came off the bench
to give the Cardinals the lead. His two-run triple in the sixth put them ahead
to stay, 5-4.
Fowler, out of the starting lineup for the past six games because of a sore
lat, drove in the winning run in the ninth inning Tuesday after St. Louis
rallied from a 5-1 eighth-inning deficit.
The Cardinals have the day off before hosting the Cubs for a weekend series.
