Recap
Cardinals 2, Dodgers 1: Allen Craig singled in the go-ahead run in the top of the seventh inning and visiting St. Louis won the opener of the four-game series.
Lance Lynn (15-7) allowed one run over six innings and Jason Motte recorded his 34th save for the Cardinals, who snapped a three-game losing streak and moved two games ahead of the Dodgers in the race for the second wild card berth in the National League.
The Cardinals broke a 1-all tie in the seventh when Shane Robinson walked to lead off the inning, moved to second on Matt Carpenter’s single and scored on Craig’s two-out single off Steven “Paco” Rodriguez (0-1).
Los Angeles took an early lead on Adrian Gonzalez’s RBI double in the first before St. Louis answered in the second inning on Skip Schumaker’s run-scoring single off Josh Beckett, who gave up one run over 5 1/3 frames.
