<p>LOS ANGELES &mdash; Edmundo Sosa hit a tiebreaking single in the ninth inning, Tyler O’Neill made a running catch for the final out and the St. Louis Cardinals defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers 3-2 Tuesday night. </p>
<p>O’Neill led off the ninth with a single off Blake Treinen (1-2). O’Neill stole second base and then scored when Sosa hit a sharp grounder to left field. Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner was playing in near the infield grass and was unable to get a glove on the ball.</p>
<p>The Dodgers had a chance in the ninth after pinch-hitter Yoshi Tsutsugo drew a two-out walk and advanced to second on Cody Bellinger’s single. Mookie Betts then lined a ball to the warning track in left, but O’Neill made a leaping grab to give Alex Reyes his 16th save.</p>
<p>John Gant threw six shutout innings, but the right-hander did not factor in the decision after Matt Beaty’s two-run homer in the seventh off Giovanny Gallegos (3-1) tied it.</p>
<p>Tommy Edman and Dylan Carlson each had two hits and made great defensive plays in the sixth. Edman made a leaping catch at second base to snag Max Muncy’s line drive that had a hit probability of 91% according to MLB Statcast.</p>
<p>With runners on second and third, Carlson prevented Gavin Lux from tying the game when he made a sliding catch in center to end the inning.</p>
<p>St. Louis began the game with three straight hits off starter David Price. Edman led off with a double, advanced to third on a single by Carlson and then scored when Paul Goldschmidt lined a ball into the corner in left field for a ground-rule double.</p>
<p>The Cardinals tacked on another run in the second when Carlson ended Price’s night with a two-out single to drive in José Rondón.</p>
<p>The Dodgers finally broke through in the seventh to tie it. Albert Pujols drew a one-out walk before being lifted for a pinch-runner. Beaty then drove Gallegos’ slider over the wall in right for his second home run of the homestand.</p>
<p>FOR STARTERS</p>
<p>Gant allowed four hits with three walks and four strikeouts. It was only the second no-decision for the right-hander in his last nine starts.</p>
<p>Price — who was used as an opener for the second time this season — allowed two runs and five hits in 1 2/3 innings with a walk and three strikeouts.</p>
<p>YEOMAN’S WORK</p>
<p>After Price exited, Joe Kelly, Phil Bickford, Nate Jones and Mitch White held the Cardinals to one hit in 5 1/3 innings before the Cardinals were able to get to Treinen in the ninth.</p>
<p>TRAINER’S ROOM</p>
<p>Cardinals: OF Harrison Bader (right hairline rib fracture) has started some light throwing and swinging. He is eligible to come off the 10-day injured list on Friday, but manager Mike Shildt isn’t sure if Bader will be ready.</p>
<p>Dodgers: OF AJ Pollock (left hamstring strain) was 1 for 3 with a home run and played six innings for Class A Rancho Cucamonga. He is expected to accompany the Dodgers to Atlanta for the start of this weekend’s series and come off the injured list. … RHP Jimmy Nelson (right forearm inflammation) threw batting practice to Tsutsugo and could be activated by this weekend. Nelson has been on the IL since May 20. </p>
