ST. LOUIS (AP) \u2014 Xavier Edwards had three hits and Kyle Stowers hit a pair of RBI singles to lead the Miami Marlins to a 5-1 win over the St. Louis Cardinals on Saturday night.<\/p>\n

Stowers drove in the first two Marlins runs with singles in the first and third innings, with shortstop Masyn Winn unable to cleanly field the latter on one bounce.<\/p>\n

Javier Sanoja and Edwards added run-scoring singles in the fourth to make it 4-0, and Edwards doubled and scored in the seventh as Miami moved to 18-5 in June.<\/p>\n

The Marlins are assured of winning the season series from St. Louis for the first time since 2016. <\/p>\n

Major league batting leader Otto Lopez tripled and had an RBI single for Miami while increasing his average to .336.<\/p>\n

Miami pitchers had combined to throw 33 2\/3 scoreless innings in St. Louis before Winn snapped the streak with a one-out RBI single in the sixth inning. The Marlins threw shutouts in their final two games at Busch Stadium last July before a 4-0 win Friday night.<\/p>\n

John King (6-1) was credited with the win after 1 1\/3 innings of scoreless relief.<\/p>\n

Bidding to win his fifth straight start, Andre Pallante (9-5) gave up five runs on a season-high 11 hits in 6 2\/3 innings. He struck out four and walked one while suffering his first loss since May 17.<\/p>\n

JJ Wetherholt and Jordan Walker each singled twice. All seven of the Cardinals\u2019 hits were singles.<\/p>\n

Up next<\/p>\n

With the Cardinals skipping Dustin May\u2019s spot in the rotation, RHP Kyle Leahy (5-4, 4.24 ERA) will start Sunday\u2019s series finale. Miami had not yet announced its starter.<\/p>\n
