ST. LOUIS — Jordan Montgomery’s mastery of his former team continued as he turned in just shy of seven strong innings for the Cardinals in a series-clinching win over the New York Yankees on Sunday afternoon.
The left-hander took a no-hit bid into the sixth inning against his old team and put the Cardinals on the path to a 5-1 win in the rubber match of a three-game series in front of an announced crowd of 44,676 at Busch Stadium.
The Cardinals (35-48) won their first home series since they beat the Los Angeles Dodgers in a three of four games on May 18-21. They went 3-3 in the six-game homestand.
