ST. LOUIS (AP) – Carlos Martinez struck out 11 in a complete-game shutout and the St. Louis Cardinals defeated the Philadelphia Phillies 7-0 on Saturday. Jedd Gyorko drove in three runs for the Cardinals, who have won two straight against the Phillies after their seven-game skid on their recent road trip.
Martinez (5-5) allowed four hits and walked one in his first complete game and first shutout of his career. Martinez’s 101st pitch of the game was a 100 mph fastball that struck out Howie Kendrick for the second out in the ninth.
The Cardinals scored four runs in the fourth inning, tying their season high for runs in an inning. Gyorko opened the scoring with a two-run double off the right-center wall, after a leadoff walk by Dexter Fowler and a double by Stephen Piscotty. Gyorko scored on a balk by Nick Pivetta. Eric Fryer made it 4-0 with an RBI single.
Pivetta (1-3), making his sixth career start, allowed four runs and four hits in five innings, with four walks and two strikeouts.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Aledmys Diaz hit a solo home run and Michael Wacha pitched six strong innings as the St. Louis Cardinals snapped a seven-game losing streak in a 3-2 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies. Earlier Friday, the Cardinals, who had lost 17 of their last 22 games, reassigned some members of the coaching staff and released veteran infielder Jhonny Peralta.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Bernhard Langer, Kevin Sutherland and Glen Day each shot 6-under 66 to share the opening-round lead at the PGA Tour Champions event in Iowa on Friday. Langer won the last two senior circuit events, both majors, and is seeking to become the first player on the 50-and-over tour with wins in three straight starts since Fred Couples in 2010.
St. Louis, Mo., June 9, 2017 – The St. Louis Cardinals announced this afternoon a series of coaching moves at the Major League level. Senior Vice President/General Manager John Mozeliak announced that Mike Shildt will assume third-base coaching duties and handle outfield defense, as coach Chris Maloney will be re-assigned to a new role within the organization. Maloney was in his sixth season with the Major League team and second as third-base coach. Shildt joined the Major League club this season as a quality control coach, and has been in the organization since 2004.
The team also announced that assistant hitting coach Bill Mueller has taken a leave of absence. In his place, Mark Budaska will join the Major League club as assistant hitting coach. Budaska is in his 10th season with the Cardinals, spending all previous nine seasons as the hitting coach at Triple-A Memphis. Additionally, Ron “Pop” Warner will join the Major League club to assist the coaching staff.
Mozeliak also announced that second baseman Kolten Wong will be activated from the disabled list prior to tonight’s game vs. Philadelphia. To make room on the club’s 25-man roster, infielder Jhonny Peralta will be designated for assignment. Wong had missed 13 games on the disabled list with a left elbow strain and had played in three games at Peoria (A) on a rehabilitation assignment (1-7, HR). This season the second baseman is hitting .278 (37-133) and ranks 3rd on the team with 11 doubles. Peralta missed 26 games earlier this year with an upper respiratory condition, and had appeared in 21 games with 14 starts at third base.
Budaska will wear uniform No. 79, Warner will wear uniform No. 75.
MARATHON, Iowa (AP) – An Iowa marathon that gained national recognition for its small-town ethos and quirky name will end because of a lack of volunteers and organizers becoming exhausted. Race director Al Pierce tells the Sioux City Journal the Marathon to Marathon will end after Saturday’s event.
The race starts in Storm Lake and ends in the small town of Marathon. It began in 1996 as a celebration of Iowa’s 150-year anniversary. The race is USA Track and Field certified and sanctioned, which allows entrants to be eligible to qualify for the Boston Marathon.
Pierce says the final marathon has participants from nearly 40 states. A spaghetti dinner for runners, supporters and community members will be offered the evening before the start of the race.
