MIAMI -- When Tommy Pham was hit by a pitch in the left hand in his first at-bat, it did not look like he would be able to stay in the game.Not only did Pham finish, but he had an RBI single and a two-run homer to help lead the St. Louis Cardinals over the Miami Marlins 11-6 on Friday night.It didnt affect him hitting the ball to dead center in the biggest park in the country, Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. That was a pretty nice sign that things should be OK, but well wait to see what the medical team says.The pain became too much in Phams final at-bat as he struck out looking, unable to swing the bat.I have anti-inflammatory pills that help you get through the game, but it was sore, Pham said. That last swing I took, my hand went numb and I couldnt swing.I literally just took the pitch strike three down the middle because I couldnt feel my hand, he said.Pham said his hand is not broken; he expects to be ready for Saturdays game.Its not broken, so you have to come here ready, Pham said.Pham was one of a number of contributors for the Cardinals. Kolten Wong had three hits and drove in two runs, and Jeremy Hazelbaker hit a two-run homer.The Cardinals have won four of five and lead the Marlins by one game in the National League wild-card standings.Miami outfielder Ichiro Suzuki went 0-for-4 to remain at 2,998 career hits.Martin Prado homered and drove in three runs, and Marcell Ozuna also homered for the Marlins.Mike Leake (8-8) won despite giving up six runs and seven hits in five innings.Jose Urena (1-3) allowed eight runs in 4 1/3 innings in what is expected to be his final start in the Marlins rotation after Miami acquired starters Andrew Cashner and Colin Rea from San Diego earlier in the day.Hazelbaker homered off Urena in the second. It was their first encounter since the two were involved in a bench-clearing brawl in a minor league game June 27.Thats the thing about baseball, and you usually have a chance to get back at somebody that you have a history with, Hazelbaker said. It was a satisfying time, and Im glad that it happened,In that minor league game, Urenas pitch went sailing near Hazelbakerss head, prompting the two to square off.dddddddddddd Punches were thrown.That history, you dont forget about that stuff, Matheny said. That means something to guys when they get the opportunity to compete.St. Louis scored three in the second and six more in the fifth for a 9-1 lead, and Prados three-run homer highlighted the Marlins five-run rally in the bottom of the fifth.For a moment after I hit it, you felt the energy in the stadium, Prado said. The people got into the game.I know we got a tough loss today, but were showing signs that we are going out for 27 outs, no matter what. Weve lost a couple of important games for us, but theres nothing we can do about it now.Phams two-run homer extended the Cardinals lead to 11-6.You cant say its a back-breaker because anything is possible. But when you give it right back, its tough on your club, Marlins manager Don Mattingly said.Suzuki threw out Wong at home in the fourth inning after making a running catch near the left-field line and throwing a 240-foot strike at the plate for the double play.We all know Ichiro is definitely someone who can hit, but you know he has a pretty good arm, too, and I knew it was going to be tough, Wong said.PRADOS GROOVEPrado went 2-for-4 and is hitting .485 (16-for-33) with two home runs and nine RBIs over his past nine games to raise his average to .327.Martin has been locked in all year, but now all of a sudden, hes kind of showing some power, Mattingly said. It kind of changes his dimension.TRAINERS ROOMMarlins: 1B Justin Bour (right ankle) was scheduled to begin a rehab stint with Triple-A New Orleans with hopes of joining the big league club on Monday in Chicago in a series against the Cubs.UP NEXTCardinals: RHP Jaime Garcia (7-7, 3.97) will take the mound Saturday.
