ANAHEIM, Calif. - St. Louis scored more runs than the Los Angeles Angels had allowed in their previous six games combined, and the Cardinals table-setters were responsible for driving in half of them. Jon Jay had three RBIs, including a two-run homer off centre fielder Mike Trouts glove during St. Louis seven-run second inning, and the Cardinals ended Los Angeles seven-game winning streak with a 12-2 rout on Wednesday night. Matt Carpenter, batting leadoff in front of Jay, also homered and drove in three runs to help keep the Cardinals two games behind Pittsburgh in the NL Central. "Matt Carpenter sets the tone for us, and he had a terrific game," manager Mike Matheny said. "He put together good at-bats and he doesnt give any away. It was also nice to see John Jay have some real nice at-bats. We need to get him going, and today was a real good indicator that hes on the right path. Hes been making some adjustments that are allowing him to have good at-bats, and it worked out for him today." Shelby Miller (9-6) struck out six over six innings and allowed five hits, including a two-run homer by Hank Conger in the second. The right-hander was coming off back-to-back losses against two other AL West clubs, including a 6-1 defeat last Friday at Oakland in which he lasted only 1 2-3 innings and gave up five runs. "I wouldnt say I was any fresher tonight. I mean, I threw 51 pitches in the second inning at Oakland and thats going to wear your arm down more so than going eight innings and throwing 100 pitches," Miller said. "But I felt strong, so I basically wanted to try to go deep in the ballgame. My pitch (count) rose up again, but I got some big plays behind me. "The biggest thing was just trying to get the ball down and hit the corners," Miller added. "I felt like I was on the corners — not the whole game, but more so than I had been. My fastball command was better and I felt like my curve ball was sharper. I just made that one mistake to Conger where I did that slide-step and tried to fool him with the curve, but I just hung it and left it right over the middle of the plate." Jerome Williams (5-4) was charged with seven runs, four hits and four walks in just 1 2-3 innings. The right-hander had not given up more than three bases on balls in any of his previous 17 starts. "After winning that many in a row, you almost always think youre due for a butt-kicking," Angels right fielder Josh Hamilton said. "Youd rather lose one like this than a really close one, but youve got to put it behind you." One night after the Angels scored all of their runs in the second inning of a series-opening 5-1 victory, the Cardinals sent 12 men to the plate in the second after Williams had set them down 1-2-3 in the first. The seven-run rally included a two-run double by David Descalso, and a two-run homer by Jay that Trout had in his glove for an instant before it popped out as his arm made contact with the top of the fence. "The hardest play to make is when you get there at the same time as the ball," Hamilton said. "Youre moving pretty good when you get there and dont have time to really have a chance to time anything." Yadier Molina, who raised his NL-leading average to .352 after going 3 for 4 with a walk, greeted Garrett Richards with an RBI single that delivered the seventh run. The Angels got two runs back in the bottom half on Congers fifth homer after a two-out walk to Alberto Callaspo. But David Freese scored an unearned run in the Cardinals third when Richards mishandled a throw from first baseman Mark Trumbo on Carpenters two-out grounder behind the bag. St. Louis increased the margin to 10-2 in the fifth on a run-scoring, ground-rule double by Carpenter and an RBI single by Jay, who had driven in only one run in his previous 35 at-bats coming in. It was only his second game this season with three or more RBIs, the other on May 4 when he had four at Milwaukee. Carpenter ended the scoring in the eighth with his eighth homer, a solo shot off Billy Buckner. NOTES: Matheny caught Williams when they were teammates in San Francisco during the 2005 season. ...

ABBOTSFORD, B.C. -- Erik Haula made the best of his demotion. Haula, who was reassigned to Iowa by parent club Minnesota on Monday, scored twice and added an assist in Wilds 4-2 defeat of the Abbotsford Heat in American Hockey League action Thursday. The 22-year-old Finn now has seven goals on the season, including a goal in Wednesdays 6-2 loss to the Heat. "Hes been a great asset since the beginning," said teammate Kris Foucault, who had two goals of his own Thursday. "He wasnt putting pucks in as much before. But he came down from Minnesota and hes been unreal. Pucks seem to be going in for him right now and thats what we needed." Haula recorded two assists in six games during his first cup of coffee in the NHL and is hungry for more. "Im just trying to play confident and trust the process," said the 2009 seventh-round pick. "Im trying to do everything I can down here and work really hard. When you do the right things, things will go the right way." Johan Gustafsson made 28 saves for Iowa (9-13-1), who entered the game 25 points behind the AHL-leading Heat. "Its a confidence booster," said Foucault. "Were a team struggling with getting wins. We can look back on this game and say we took out the top team. So if were down one, going into the third period, we can remember this and use it to our advantage." Now the Wild will need to string some wins together if they want to climb in the standings. Theyve won more than two in a row just once this year and also had a six-game losing streak. "Theyre obviously a great team so it proves to us that we can play with any other team in the league," said Haula. "Now weve just got to stay consistent." Markus Granlund and Derek Smith scored for Abbotsford (20-7-2). Granlund now has an 11-game point streak, longest active run in the AHL. Joey MacDonald stopped 30 shots in the losing effort, just their third regulation loss in 20 games. "Our effort was there, but our execution on a lot of plays wasnt there," said the Heats Corban Knight. "We had some pretty good chances that we didnt capitalize on, and we made some pretty costly errors at bad times." The Wild took an early lead, just like Wednesday nights tilt, scoring in the opening two minutes. Haulas initial shot was stopped but Chad Raus rebound attempt was reddirected by Foucault past MacDonald for his third goal of the season at 1:29.dddddddddddd However, the Heat tied the game at 3:49 on a power play. Granlund had two cracks at a Knight rebound and finally chipped it over a sprawling Gustafsson for his 12th of the season. Smith gave the Heat the lead at 5:49. The veteran of 91 NHL games took a feed from Max Reinhart behind the net and one-timed it for his first AHL goal of the year. The Heat had a quality chance to build on their lead in the first with a lengthy two-man power play, but the Wild were able to keep most of the opportunities of the leagues second-ranked power play to the outside. "I didnt like our posture on the 5-on-3 at all," said Heat head coach Troy Ward. "Those guys werent special, and usually theyre pretty special. We didnt generate much there, and I thought that inevitably cost us. That was one of the first telling signs that we were starting to fall off the map a little bit." The Wild tied the game at 6:03 of the second period. Jon Landry chipped the puck over to Haula at the right side of the net. He had two whacks at the puck before finally burying it for his sixth of the season and second in consecutive games. Then the Wild regained the lead when Haula scored his second of the game in the final minute of the second. Zack Phillips stole the puck from Smith, wheeled to the slot and fired it on net, where Haula was there to pounce on the rebound. Foucault put the nail in the coffin when he picked up his second 16:58 of the third. He beat the defenceman wide right, got MacDonald to commit and then tucked the puck between the post and his glove, giving him his first multi-goal game in his three-year pro career. "I kind of blacked out," said Foucault when asked to describe the play. "It was a turnover and capitalized on it. Went in on a 2-on-1 and waited him out, and tucked in behind him." Earlier in the day the Heats parent club Calgary announced general manager Jay Feaster had been fired, but the club insists it didnt weigh on their minds during the game. "We were pretty focused on tonight," said Knight, who was acquired in a trade by Feaster in June. "The coaching staff did a good job of leaving that stuff out and just focusing on the 60 minutes tonight. I dont think that had an effect on us at all tonight." ' ' '
