ST. LOUIS -- For the second straight night, the St. Louis Cardinals' revised lineup produced plenty of offense, this time in the form of a big inning.

A four-run rally in the bottom of the fifth Wednesday night gave St. Louis a 5-2 win over the Philadelphia Phillies at Busch Stadium.

After rapping out 15 hits and scoring a season-high 11 runs Tuesday evening, the Cardinals (14-6) did most of their damage in one inning, enabling Carlos Martinez (3-0) to win his third straight start.

Martinez scattered six hits in six innings, allowing two runs and issuing three walks while striking out three. St. Louis' bullpen followed with three scoreless innings, with Trevor Rosenthal pitching the ninth for his eighth save in as many chances.

Aaron Harang (2-2) took the loss after yielding nine hits and five runs in six innings, walking one and whiffing six as he fell to 7-16 in his career against the Cardinals. Philadelphia (8-14) dropped to 2-8 on the road.

St. Louis scored first for the third consecutive game. The Cardinals took a 1-0, second-inning lead when second baseman Kolten Wong lined a 3-1 curve into center field for a two-out RBI single that plated first baseman Matt Adams.

Philadelphia evened the score in the fourth when first baseman Ryan Howard did what he usually does in Busch Stadium -- belt a homer. He lofted a 3-1 offering into the Cardinals' bullpen in right-center for his 11th homer in 33 games in his native St. Louis, his fourth home run of the year.

Center fielder Odubel Herrera gave the Phillies a 2-1 lead an inning later with an RBI single to right that scored Harang, but the Cardinals erased it in their half of the fifth with a four-run outburst.

Center fielder Peter Bourjos, getting a start because he entered the game 7-of-15 in his career against Harang, tripled down the right-field line to score Wong with the tying run. Bourjos then beat Howard's throw home on a chopper by third baseman Matt Carpenter, breaking the brief tie.

Adams followed with his second double, scoring Carpenter, and shortstop Jhonny Peralta's single chased home left fielder Matt Holliday.
