Stephen Fife of Borah High struck out a career-high nine and gave up four hits in five innings starting for the Dodgers on Sunday, but Jon Jay hit a go-ahead RBI double during a three-run 12th inning as St. Louis topped Los Angeles 5-2. Fife, making his fourth major league start and first since Aug. 1 in place of injured Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw, recorded his first six outs on strikeouts. But between the first and second ones, the Cardinals took a 2-0 lead as Allen Craig hit an RBI double and Matt Holliday scored on a wild pitch. Fife threw 88 pitches over five innings, allowing two runs and four hits. His nine strikeouts are two more than he had in his other three outings combined. “I was a little anxious, a little hyped up,” the 25-year-old right-hander said. “Striking out the side in the first and second innings — I don’t think I’ve done that this year. But obviously, Kershaw deserves to pitch. If he was at 80 percent, he'd probably be out there.”
