Jesús Sánchez homered, singled twice and had four RBIs and the Miami Marlins beat St. Louis 15-2 in another short outing by Cardinals starter Adam Wainwright on Tuesday.

Jorge Soler and Joey Wendle each doubled twice while Garrett Cooper also went deep and had two singles for the Marlins, who finished with a season high in runs against Wainwright and four relievers.

Marlins starter Jesús Luzardo (7-5) struck out eight in six scoreless innings.

Miami’s Luis Arraez went 1-for-3 and walked twice, dropping his major league-leading batting average to .387.

Wainwright (3-4) had his third consecutive outing of less than four innings. He was lifted after consecutive one-out walks in the fourth. The 41-year-old Wainwright gave up seven runs, four earned, and seven hits.

Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said the two-time NL Cy Young Award runner-up will go on the injured list. Wainwright, who will retire at the end of the season, has been dealing with shoulder discomfort.

During Wainwright’s difficult three-game stretch, he has allowed 20 runs and 24 hits. The Cardinals have been outscored 29-2 in Wainwright’s past two starts.

The Marlins struck quickly against Wainwright with a three-run first. Arraez singled, advanced on Soler’s double before Sánchez connected with a three-run shot for his eighth of the season.

Cooper hit a solo blast in the third then increased Miami’s advantage with a two-RBI single that capped a three-run fourth to make it 7-0.
