ST. LOUIS (AP) — Dakota Hudson pitched six innings of one-hit ball and hit a two-run single for his first big league RBIs, helping the St. Louis Cardinals rout the San Francisco Giants 10-0 on Thursday to open a three-game lead over the second-place Chicago Cubs in the NL Central.
Paul DeJong hit an early two-run homer, and Paul Goldschmidt singled and scored twice for the Cardinals, who for the sixth time in seven games.
San Francisco has lost five of six and eight of 10, dropping nine games back for the NL’s second wild card at 67-73.
Hudson (15-6) allowed a one-out single in the second to Kevin Pillar and walked Brandon Crawford, then retired 14 of his final 15 batters. He has won five straight starts.
Génesis Cabrera finished the four-hitter for his first big league save.
Logan Webb (1-1) allowed eight runs — seven earned — eight hits and two walks in 2 2/3 innings.
Tommy Edman doubled leading off and scored on Paul Goldschmidt’s one-out single in a three-run first capped by DeJong’s career-best 26 homer.
St. Louis blew open the game with a five-run third that included a pair of miscues by the Giants. Matt Carpenter reached on a run-scoring infield single when first baseman Brandon Belt lost track of the bag on a throw from second baseman Mauricio Dubón. Crawford allowed Edman’s grounder to shortstop to bounce off his glove for an error.
Hudson’s single chased Webb and boosted the lead to 7-0.
Rangel Ravelo hit his first career homer, a two-run drive in the eighth against Kyle Barraclough.

Here is the latest Mid-America sports news from The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Chiefs had one of the most prolific offenses in NFL history last season. Now, with the addition of speedy rookie Mecole Hardman and two-time All-Pro running back LeSean McCoy, there is reason to believe they could be even better. The first big test comes Sunday when the Chiefs open the regular season at Jacksonville.
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Kevin Pillar had four hits, including a go-ahead, two-run homer in the eighth inning, and the San Francisco Giants rallied to cool off the St. Louis Cardinals 9-8. Brandon Crawford and Mike Yastrzemski also homered for San Francisco, which snapped a four-game losing streak. Paul Goldschmidt drove in four runs and Paul DeJong homered for St. Louis, which lost for just the fourth time in 18 games. St. Louis remained 2 1/2 games ahead of the Chicago Cubs in the NL Central.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Jorge Soler extended his team record with his 40th homer, Hunter Dozier and Alex Gordon had three hits each, and the Kansas City Royals beat the Detroit Tigers 5-4. The Royals are the last team in baseball history to have a player reach 40 home runs in a season. Prior to Tuesday, Mike Moustakas held the club record with 38 in 2017. Jakob Junis gave up four runs and seven hits over seven innings for Kansas City.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Nick Foles will start the season on the injury report. The team listed Foles on its initial report with an abdominal oblique injury. But the Jaguars say he’s expected to play in the season opener against Kansas City. Foles had some soreness following training camp.
ST. LOUIS (AP) — The Missouri Supreme Court has ruled that a lawsuit filed over the Rams’ departure from St. Louis in 2016 will be heard in a St. Louis courtroom, a defeat for the NFL team’s owner who sought to send the case to arbitration. The court issued its ruling Tuesday in a lawsuit filed by St. Louis city and county and the St. Louis Regional Convention and Sports Complex Authority.
BOULDER, Colorado (AP) — Colorado tailback Alex Fontenot patiently waited for his chance to start. He made the most of it by erupting for three touchdowns and 125 yards against Colorado State. The stakes will be even higher this weekend as Fontenot and the Buffaloes host No. 25 Nebraska.
