ST LOUIS — Avery good home stand turned into a great one Sunday as the Cardinals rallied from three deficits in the first five innings and outlasted the New York Yankees 12-9 at Busch Stadium to complete not only their first three-game sweep of the Yankees but they also swept the six-game home stand, which began against the Chicago Cubs.
The Cardinals raised their season-high winning streak to seven games as the Yankees lost their fifth successive game and dropped a three-game series for the first time this year.
The only other time in their histories that the Cardinals had won three games in succession from the Yankees in the same year came in the 1942 World Series when the Cardinals won the final four games after losing the first game.
