Bowker slugs third homer; Molina tallies three hits, three RBIs
The San Francisco Giants arrived in St. Louis with a two-game losing streak and will leave with a two-game winning streak.
Every player in the starting lineup had a hit Sunday, led by Bengie Molina's three hits, and starter Jonathan Sanchez tossed five scoreless innings as the Giants defeated the Cardinals, 8-2, at Busch Stadium.
San Francisco, which won the season series with St. Louis four games to three, improved to 8-11 on the season and will now head to Arizona for a two-game series. St. Louis fell to 12-7.
The Giants erupted for six runs in the third inning, with six consecutive hits against Cardinals starter Braden Looper. Fred Lewis and Jose Castillo started it off with back-to-back singles. Then Ray Durham hit an RBI double and Bengie Molina followed with a two-run double. After Aaron Rowand's RBI single, rookie right fielder John Bowker blasted a two-run home run into the right-field seats.
It was the third home run in 18 at-bats for Bowker, who also has nine RBIs in his first seven games in the Major Leagues.
The Giants added two runs in the fourth after chasing Looper. Molina had an RBI single and Rowand followed with an RBI single to right.
