LOUIS \u2014 The battle took nine pitches. <\/p><div><\/div><p>Bryce Harper fouled off four of them. He held off on a cutter below the zone, the ninth pitch of the at-bat, to draw the third consecutive walk from Caleb Ferguson.

He grounded it right to the awaiting Alec Burleson at first base, who combined with Cardinals catcher Pedro Pag\u00e9s to turn a deflating double play. Arraez\u2019s slump stretched to 0-for-15. <\/p><div><\/div><p>And suddenly, the momentum completely shifted. J.T. Realmuto flew out two pitches later to end the inning, and the Phillies had nothing to show for it. The missed opportunity loomed large in their 2-0 loss to the Cardinals on Tuesday night. <\/p><div><\/div><div><\/div><p>The infields on both sides were kept busy. The eighth-inning double play was one of four turned by the Cardinals, while the Phillies turned three. That included a key moment in the second inning, the only time the Cardinals had really threatened against starter Cristopher S\u00e1nchez. <\/p><div><\/div><div><\/div><div><\/div><p>S\u00e1nchez allowed back-to-back singles to put runners on the corners. Blaze Jordan hit a chopper to Bryson Stott at third base. Stott charged in, fielded it, and threw across his body to second base. It was in time to catch a speedy Masyn Winn sliding into second, and Arraez\u2019s throw to first ended the inning. <\/p><div><\/div><p>It was one of several strong plays from Stott, who has taken immediately to his new position after moving over from second base. <\/p><div><\/div><div><\/div><p>S\u00e1nchez seemed to get sharper the deeper he got into the game, retiring the final seven Cardinals he faced. Interim manager Don Mattingly opted to lift S\u00e1nchez after six innings and 89 pitches, bringing in Alex McFarlane for the seventh to face the heart of the Cardinals\u2019 order. <\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/corporate-movers-usa.com\/?p=3753\">An Upper Darby teen who killed his high school classmate is heading to state prison<\/a><\/p><div><\/div><div><\/div><p>McFarlane, who was recalled earlier on Tuesday, recorded his first major league strikeout after blowing a 100.5 mph fastball by Burleson. But the Cardinals capitalized on a walk, stolen base, and a single to finally break the stalemate against the rookie reliever, taking a 1-0 lead. <\/p><div><\/div><p>They doubled their advantage in the eighth when Everson Pereira hit a first-pitch homer off Tim Mayza. <\/p><div><\/div><p>The Phillies went down in order against Riley O\u2019Brien in the ninth.
