The St Louis Cardinals saw their six-game win streak snapped and a chance to sweep the World Series champions denied Sunday, May 3, falling to the Los Angeles Dodgers 4-1.

The Dodgers got to starter Dustin May in the second when, with one out and runners at first and second, Andy Pages doubled to left field to score Kyle Tucker. Hyeseong Kim singled home Max Muncy in the next at-bat. The Cardinals had a chance to cut into the lead during their half of the inning with José Fermín at third, but Nathan Church was caught stealing second to end the frame. Freddie Freeman added an RBI single in the fifth to extend the Dodger lead. Alec Burleson broke the shutout with an RBI in the eighth inning to score Jordan Walker. The Dodgers added another RBI single in the ninth to close out the game.

Both starting pitchers went six innings, with May taking the loss. He allowed three runs on seven hits and two walks, striking out three. Jacob Wrobleski earned his fifth win of the season, allowing six hits and a walk. Tanner Scott claimed his second save of the year.

The Cardinals (20-14) slip to two games behind the Cubs in the NL Central, now tied with Cincinnati for second. The Redbirds remain home for their next series, welcoming the Milwaukee Brewers. Kyle Leahy gets the start for St Louis, while Chad Patrick takes the mound for the Brew Crew. First pitch is at 6:45 p.m.
