Piscotty, Cards flex muscles, but fall short

Smith went 3-for-5 with three runs scored and an RBI, while Trumbo turned in a 2-for-4 day with three RBIs to support Ubaldo Jimenez in his first start since his demotion to the bullpen last month. The righty went seven innings, allowing two runs on four hits.

St. Louis entered Sunday's game with eight homers hit against Baltimore in the first two games of the series, and Stephen Piscotty added two more with blasts in the second and fourth innings before Dexter Fowler and Yadier Molina tacked on the Cards' 11th and 12th homers of the series in the eighth.
