Phillies lose to Cardinals 4-3
DATELINE
Lance Berkman homered and had an RBI single for the streaking
Cardinals, who began the night 3½ games behind the wild
card-leading Braves. St. Louis, which took three of four in the
series, has won 10 of 12 overall.
The defeat prevented Philadelphia from clinching home-field
advantage throughout the postseason - at least momentarily. The NL
East champions needed just a win or a Milwaukee loss to the Chicago
Cubs to wrap up home field.
Lohse (14-8) tossed 7 1-3 strong innings, allowing an unearned
run and seven hits while striking out five and walking one.
