St. Louis dropped to 1-3 in September with a 4-1 loss to the Marlins in 11 innings Friday.

Braden Looper (12-11) pitched a gem, going seven and a third shutout innings, but a lack of run support and a shaky bullpen doomed his chances of earning 13th win of the year.

Mike Jacobs homered off closer Chris Perez in the ninth to tie the game at one, and Florida’s three-run 11th was simply too much for the Redbirds to overcome.
