PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Cristopher Sanchez shrugged off an early homer to pitch six strong innings, Alec Bohm and Kyle Schwarber homered and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the St. Louis Cardinals 7-2 on Friday night. Sanchez (2-3) and three relievers retired the final 21 St. Louis hitters. Nine of those outs came on strikeouts. Garrett Stubbs added an RBI double for the Phillies (70-58), who remained atop the National League wild-card standings while gaining ground on second-place Chicago — increasing that margin to three games. Paul Goldschmidt hit his 21st homer of the season in the first inning for St. Louis’ only runs of the night.
