ST. LOUIS -- Chris Carpenter allowed four hits in 7 1/3 scoreless innings, and the St. Louis Cardinals used a three-run fourth Saturday to beat the Florida Marlins, 4-0.
Albert Pujols, Jim Edmonds and Edgar Renteria drove in a run apiece in the decisive inning against Darren Oliver (2-2), and Mike Matheny also had an RBI.
Carpenter (4-1) controlled the Marlins with a sinking fastball that resulted in only one flyball out, continuing his comeback after missing all of last season following shoulder surgery. He struck out five and walked two.
Mike Lowell flied out to the left-field wall with the bases loaded against Julian Tavarez for the last out of the eighth, the Marlins' best scoring opportunity. Tavarez then got the last three outs for his second save.
