PHILADELPHIA — Friday's Game Report: Phillies 5, Cardinals 3 It was a night to remember for Nolan Arenado. That wasn't the case for the rest of the Cardinals. Arenado became the first Cardinal in 17 years to hit for the cycle on Friday night, but the rest of the lineup combined for fewer hits, three, than Arenado had by himself in the loss to the Phillies in Philadelphia. Arenado tripled in the first inning, homered in the third inning, doubled in the sixth and singled in the eighth, the first Cardinal to hit for the cycle since Mark Grudzielanek in 2005.
