A three-run rally in the eighth inning lifted the Cardinals to their 12th straight triumph, a 7-4 win over the Phillies. The Redbirds snapped a 4-4 deadlock in the eighth on a run-scoring groundout by Orlando Sanchez and a two-run single by Lonnie Smith. The Phils had been kept in the game by Bo Diaz, who hit two homers and two doubles and drove in all of his team's runs. [The Sporting News]
