Pham’s 3 RBIs, Yadi’s 3-run HR power Cards

Tommy Pham’s recent troubles seemed a mirage in the Sonoran desert this week. Pham had three hits and three RBIs on Wednesday night, and his tie-breaking single in a five-run seventh inning helped lift the Cardinals to an 8-4 win and a series victory over the D-backs at Chase Field. Pham’s RBI single in the fifth inning brought the Cardinals within one run, 2-1, and snapped the team’s 0-for-7 streak with runners in scoring position. He later doubled in a run in the eighth inning after Yadier Molina capped the seventh inning with a three-run homer to the opposite field in right.
