ST. LOUIS (AP) — Taylor Ward capped a four-run first inning with a three-run homer, Patrick Sandoval combined with three relievers on a four-hitter and the Los Angeles Angels beat St. Louis 5-1 to extend the Cardinals’ losing streak to four. St. Louis has lost seven of its last 10 games and is 0-10 in series openers. On a night when Shohei Ohtani was given his second game off of the season, Mike Trout walked against Steven Matz  with one out in the first, Hunter Renfroe singled and Anthony Rendon hit a go-ahead single.
