MIAMI -- Rookie Jose Fernandez outpitched a rusty Jake Westbrook, and the team with the worst record in the majors beat the team with the best record. Mike Moustakas Jersey . Fernandez had a career-high 10 strikeouts in seven innings Friday, and the Miami Marlins spoiled Westbrooks return from an elbow injury by defeating the St. Louis Cardinals 5-4. The 20-year-old Fernandez (4-3) became the first pitcher under the age of 21 to strike out 10 or more since Felix Hernandez with Seattle in 2007. Relying heavily on breaking balls, he threw a career-high 107 pitches and allowed three runs, two earned. "I was looking forward to this start," Fernandez said. "Theyre a great team. Theyve got great hitters. Everybody knows the Cardinals, one through nine, can create a mess in two seconds." Westbrook (2-2), who had been sidelined with elbow inflammation, went five innings in his first game since May 8. He allowed five runs, two of them unearned because of a misplayed grounder by second baseman Matt Carpenter, and his ERA rose to 2.05. "He wasnt as sharp as he normally is, but hes coming back from an injury," manager Mike Matheny said. Fernandez settled down after giving up two runs and three hits in the first inning. He had a 1-2-3 third, striking out Carlos Beltran, Matt Holliday and Allen Craig. "He really was in complete control of that game after the first inning," Marlins manager Mike Redmond said. "He set the tone against a great team, a great lineup, and it was fun to watch him. He can pitch." Fernandez improved to 4-1 over his past eight starts with a 2.42 ERA. He also singled home a run. "He did a lot of things right," Matheny said. "We knew he was going to be a handful." Giancarlo Stanton had three hits, including a two-run double for the Marlins, who won despite going 2 for 15 with runners in scoring position. Theyve won seven of their past 13 games, their best stretch this season. Beltran singled in the fifth to extend his hitting streak to 13 games, but Marlins relievers retired the final five batters. Steve Cishek pitched a perfect ninth for his eighth save in 10 chances. Plate umpire Phil Cuzzi reversed himself on a call in the fifth, which led to a Marlins run. When Ed Lucas tried to bunt, Cuzzi initially said the pitch had been fouled. But after Redmond came onto the field and pointed out the blood on Lucas hand, Cuzzi ruled he had been hit by the pitch. "He said, OK, Ill give it to you. I said, Thank you," Redmond said. "It broke his skin. He took his glove off, and he had a little cut there. It was bleeding, so it wasnt a tough sell." Lucas then scored on Stantons double to make it 5-2. Carpenter mishandled Derek Dietrichs grounder for an error to start the second inning, and Miami went on to score two unearned runs. Jeff Mathis had an RBI groundout, and Fernandez followed with a two-out run-scoring single for his third RBI this year. "I keep getting lucky, man," Fernandez said. Miami went ahead to stay in the fourth on a single by Dietrich and a run-scoring double by Greg Dobbs. That was one of eight hits off Westbrook. "I felt good enough to pitch better than that," Westbrook said. "Overall my arm felt good. Just came out on the wrong end." The Cardinals scored in the first on consecutive RBI singles by Craig and Yadier Molina. The hits came after an error by third baseman Lucas, and one run was unearned. Jon Jay had a two-out RBI double for the Cardinals in the sixth. David Freese doubled home a run in the eighth.

(STATS) -- Picked to finish in first place in the Pioneer Football League for the sixth straight season, San Diego is right where it should be with November approaching. The same cant be said for the Toreros opponent this week.San Diego -- and just about everyone -- probably didnt think Saturdays visit to Marist would determine first place in the league, but thats whats at stake when the last two unbeaten teams in PFL play meet at Tenney Stadium in Poughkeepsie, New York.The Toreros (6-1, 5-0) have been champions seven times since the PFL began play in 1993, trailing only Daytons 12 titles. In the previous five seasons, San Diego either shared the title or won it outright four times.The only year over that span that the Toreros failed to do so came in 2013, when Marist was co-champion for its only title since joining the PFL in 2009. The Red Foxes were picked to finish sixth in the 11-team league this year, but theyve won their first four PFL games for the first time -- a surprising start after they opened the season with three straight losses by a combined score of 77-33.Its hard to win, Marist coach Jim Parady said. Were going to enjoy this thing. I think the kids have gained confidence as weve gone through the Pioneer schedule each week, but we know we respect our opponents as we go. The big thing is that youve got to enjoy wins when you get them.In PFL action, San Diego ranks first in scoring offense (43.4 points per game), scoring defense (10.4), total offense (496.6 yards per game) and total defense (252.0). Marist is first in passing offense (337.8), second in scoring defense (19.8), third in total offense (437) and fifth in scoring offense (32.2).The Toreros, though, are also dominating on the national level. They lead the FCS in scoring defense (12.9), rank second in passing efficiency defense (88.52 rating) and sit sixth in total defense (279.4).On the offensive end, San Diego is No. 1 in the FCS in third-down conversion percentage (55.6) while ranking 14th in scoring offense (37.1) and tying for 15th in total offense (448.3). The Toreros are stacked on that side of the ball with redshirt sophomore quarterbackk Anthony Lawrence, redshirt senior running back Jonah Hodges, redshirt junior tight end Ross Dwelley and senior wide receiver Brian Riley leading the way. Jacob Nottingham Jersey. In overall play, Lawrence leads the PFL in pass efficiency (170.9) and completion percentage (68.8) while throwing for 1,801 yards and 16 touchdowns to just four interceptions. Hodges leads the league with 715 rushing yards, 163.4 all-purpose yards per game, 11 total TDs and 10 rushing scores. Dwelley is tied for first with seven TD catches and Riley is second with 95.1 receiving yards per game while hauling in five touchdowns.Marist has its own playmakers. Redshirt sophomore Mike White is second in the PFL with 1,941 passing yards and 296.6 total yards per game to go with 13 TDs and seven INTs, and hes also rushed for three scores. Sophomore wideout Juston Christian tops the league with 795 receiving yards and 113.6 yards per game through the air, and hes tied with Dwelley for the lead with seven TD catches. On defense, redshirt sophomore safety Wesley Beans is tied for fourth in all of college football with five interceptions.Things are just starting to click, were starting to do more of the right things as opposed to the wrong things, White said. Weve just got to keep this thing going. We have a lot of confidence right now. We just have to keep this momentum going into the next few weeks. Got to keep grinding and keep rolling.San Diego has won all 11 matchups in this series, but it needed to rally from 13 points down in the second quarter last season to beat visiting Marist 30-27. The last three meetings have been decided by a total of nine points, and six of the Toreros seven wins since the Red Foxes joined the PFL have come by a touchdown or less.Weve had some tremendously tough and hard games with Marist, San Diego coach Dale Lindsey said. Ive said to their head coach every year for four years, I hate playing you guys because they know how to play us. Theyre tough, theyre physical and its always a fight to the bitter end. ' ' '
