        PHILADELPHIA — Edgar Renteria hit his first career grand slam, leading Matt Morris and the St. Louis Cardinals over the Philadelphia Phillies 5-1 Sunday before a crowd of 58,493.

        The Phillies honored Hall of Fame broadcaster Harry Kalas, and fans got dual bobblehead dolls featuring the popular announcer and Hall of Famer Richie Ashburn.

        The first sellout crowd of the season at Veterans Stadium, however, did not get another chance to boo former Phillies star Scott Rolen. The third baseman, traded to the Cardinals on July 29, did not play because of a sore left shoulder.

        Morris (15-7) scattered eight hits in eight innings en route to his third consecutive win. He walked none and struck out six.

        Morris allowed four hits in the first two innings, but worked out of a pair of first-and-second jams. He retired 16 of the next 19 hitters before Bobby Abreu ended the shutout bid in the eighth with his 13th homer of the season.

        The NL Central-leading Cardinals broke up a scoreless game in the sixth against Vicente Padilla (12-8).

        J.D. Drew led off with a single and Jim Edmonds reached base when his potential double-play grounder rolled underneath first baseman Travis Lee's glove for an error.

        Albert Pujols delivered a RBI single and Tino Martinez loaded the bases with a single. Renteria, who had struck out the previous two at-bats, hit a drive into the right-field bullpen for his ninth homer of the season.

        Renteria batted with the bases loaded again in the seventh and flied out to the warning track in left field off reliever Rheal Cormier.

        Padilla, who took a NL-best 1.91 home ERA into the game, allowed five runs and six hits in six innings.

        The Cardinals threatened in the third when they loaded the bases with one out. Padilla avoided major damage, striking out Edmonds and getting Pujols to fly out to left, where Pat Burrell made a nifty sliding catch.

        Notes: Renteria leads all NL shortstops with 61 RBIs. ... Morris hasn't issued a walk in three of his last four starts. ... The Cardinals have hit four grand slams this season. ... The start of the game was delayed 34 minutes because of ceremonies for Kalas.
