ANAHEIM, Calif.—Alec Burleson hit a two-run home run in the seventh inning, Pedro Pagés had a three-run double for his first major-league hit, and the St. Louis Cardinals defeated the Los Angeles Angels 7–6 Tuesday night.
Burleson finished with three hits as he homered for the fourth time in 16 games after not having gone deep in his first 19 games. Nolan Arenado led off the seventh with a base hit before Burleson connected on Amir Garrett’s slider and drove it over the right-field wall to give the Cardinals their third straight victory.
