All players in Philadelphia's starting lineup produced at least one hit on Thursday. Phillies recorded a total of 13 hits. This was a big boost following the wristless effort of losing to the Braves 4-1 on Wednesday.

Cardinals relief player Ryan Helsley provided Avisail Garcia with a two-run home run in the bottom of the ninth inning with two outs.
"That's baseball," Helsley said. "As you know, you can make the best pitches, give up hits, make the worst pitches, and get out of it, so learn from it, go ahead and start another streak."
Garcia's home run was Helsley's first player to give up in 25 appearances and 30 2/3 innings this season.
Edmundo Sosa brought the Cardinals an unexpected spark with two hits and two runs against the Marlins ace Sandy Alcantara. Sosa made a hit in a series of games. Until Tuesday, he had tolerated a 0-16 slump and hadn't collected any hits since June 4th.

Cardinals expects Nolan Gorman to return to the lineup on Friday. Second baseman missed the last two games due to a bruise on his left hand.
"He continues to be treated, then (Friday) try some swings and see how it feels," Marmol said.
Cardinals hands the ball to Miles Mikolas (5-5, 2.57 ERA). Right-handed players are 1-0 with 4.15 ERA in three career games with the Phillies and two starts.
In the last four starts, Mikolas pitched to 1.55 ERA, but with no offensive support, these outings were 1-2.
