The Cardinals raised their season-high winning streak to seven games as the Yankees lost their fifth successive game and dropped a three-game series for the first time this year. The only other time in their histories that the Cardinals had won three games in succession from the Yankees in the same year came in the 1942 World Series when the Cardinals won the final four games after losing the first game. Adam Wainwright needed 111 pitches to navigate four innings but the bullpen, covering the final 15 outs, enabled the Cardinals to rise 12 games above the break-even mark at 60-48, which constitutes two-thirds of a season. Jordan Hicks got four of those outs and, with a perfect seventh, was the only pitcher to set down the side in order in the game at that point. Ryan Helsley got the final four outs to record his 11th save and second in this series. [/QUOTE]
