Dustin May throws 6 strong innings, Cardinals beat Red Sox 3-2 in series opener
ST. LOUIS (AP) --- Dustin May pitched six strong innings, Ramn Uras hit a
double and scored twice, and the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Boston Red Sox
3-2 on Friday night in the opener of a three-game series.
Jordan Walker hit a one-out single and, after Uras walked, scored on a single
by Thomas Saggese.
Uras and Saggese moved into scoring position on a wild pitch by Zach Kelly
before Jos Fermn hit a sacrifice fly that drove in Uras and gave the
Cardinals a 3-2 lead in the fifth inning.
Masataka Yoshida had an RBI groundout and Trevor Story stole home when Marcelo
Mayer swiped second on a double steal in the fourth inning for the Red Sox
runs. Wilyer Abreu had two hits.
Victor Scott II's sacrifice fly with the bases loaded in the second inning
drove in Uras opened the scoring.
May (1-2) allowed two runs --- one earned --- on four hits with four strikeouts
in six innings. Riley O'Brien pitched a 1-2-3 ninth and earned his fourth save.
Kelly (0-1) replaced starter Connelly Early with one out in the fifth and gave
up two runs while recording two outs.
Cardinals shortstop Masyn Winn, who was hit by a pitch in the third inning, was
replaced by Saggese in the fifth due to a lower-leg contusion.
Up next
Boston's Ranger Suarez (0-1, 8.64 ERA) is set to pitch Saturday against Kyle
Leahy (1-1, 5.40).
