Marlins halt Cardinals' winning streak with 5-3 win

Agustín Ramírez homered and Max Meyer pitched effectively into the sixth inning to lead the Miami Marlins to a 5-3 victory over St. Louis on Monday night, snapping the Cardinals’ five-game winning streak.

Meyer, who has battled injuries since being selected third overall in the 2020 amateur draft, left after 5 1/3 innings and 91 pitches. He permitted two runs on three hits and two walks with eight strikeouts.

Pete Fairbanks gave up a leadoff triple to Masyn Winn and a sacrifice fly to Ramón Urías in the ninth before finishing for his fourth save in five opportunities.

Jordan Walker got the game’s first hit when he singled with one out in the St. Louis fourth to extend his hitting streak to 15 games. He scored on Winn’s sacrifice fly to put the Cardinals up 1-0.

Michael McGreevy (1-2) didn’t allow a baserunner until Kyle Stowers walked with one out in the bottom of the fourth.

JJ Wetherholt has been hit by a pitch in a Cardinals-record five straight games.

Cardinals RHP Dustin May (2-2, 6.98 ERA) starts Tuesday opposite Marlins RHP Chris Paddack (0-3, 5.59).
