ST. LOUIS (AP) – Luke Voit homered and drove in three runs and the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Miami Marlins 4-3 on Thursday.

Marcell Ozuna had three hits and three RBIs for the Marlins. Dee Gordon had two hits, scored three runs and stole two bases.
Miami starter Tom Koehler (1-4) allowed three runs and four hits over five innings. He struck out seven and walked three.
St. Louis begins a three-game series at home against the New York Mets Friday night. Carlos Martinez (6-7) starts for the Cardinals while Jacob deGrom (8-3) goes for the Mets. Game time is 7:15 with the pre-game at 6:20 on KTLO-AM.
