Lance Lynn got to 15 wins on the season, settling down after allowing just one run in the first as the Cardinals push their lead to two games in the wild card over the Dodgers with a 2-1 win in LA. Lynn allowed just five hits while striking out seven in six innings. Skip Schumaker had an RBI single in the second off Josh Beckett who got a no-decision. Allen Craig singled in the go-ahead and eventual winning run in the seventh. Craig now has 77 RBIs.

Edward Mujica, Mitchell Boggs and Jason Motte held the Dodgers to one hit over the final three innings.
