(AP) — The St. Louis Cardinals are back atop the National League Central. Matt Holliday was 4-for-4 with a two-run homer and three RBIs as the Redbirds ripped Colorado 11-4. Matt Carpenter, Yadier Molina and Daniel Descalso drove in two runs apiece as part of the Cards’ 18-hit attack. Joe Kelly is 9-4 after holding the Rockies to three hits in five shutout innings.

Pittsburgh’s 5-2 loss to San Diego drops the Pirates one game behind St. Louis. Jedd Gyorko went 3-for-5 and put the Padres ahead for good with a three-run homer in the third inning. The Padres’ bullpen tossed four hitless innings after Eric Stults gave up two runs and seven hits.
