Bryce Harper had two hits and drove in the game-winning run, Jesus Luzardo pitched seven strong innings, and the Philadelphia Phillies defeated the St. Louis Cardinals 2-1 in the first game of a doubleheader on Wednesday.

An infield single and a flair to center out of reach of any Cardinal fielder prove the difference in a tight pitching duel that ended with the Phillies' 2-1 victory.

Problem is, they were about to confront a Cardinals team that was even hotter than they were. The Cards brought a nine-game win streak into South Philly, the longest in the majors, and extended it to 10 before the Phillies finally ended it with a 2-1 win in the opener of a Wednesday twinbill.
