Sonny Gray and four St. Louis Cardinals relievers combined to record 13 strikeouts and blank the visiting Philadelphia Phillies 3-0 on Tuesday.
Gray (1-0) made his Cardinals debut after recovering from a hamstring muscle tear during spring training. Working with a 65-pitch limit, he allowed five hits while striking out five batters with no walks.
Philadelphia catcher JT Realmuto exited the game in the seventh inning after a wild pitch hit him in the neck/jaw area underneath his mask.
Philadelphia’s Trea Turner led off the fourth inning with a single and stole second base with one out. Gray then struck out Realmuto and retired Alec Bohm on a groundout.
The Cardinals made it 3-0 in the bottom of the inning. Burleson hit a leadoff single, took third on Winn’s double and scored on Victor Scott II’s sacrifice fly. Brendan Donovan followed with a groundout that scored Winn.
