JUPITER, Fla. (AP) _ Shane Andrews homered twice and Matt Morris became the first St. Louis pitcher to work more than five innings this spring as the Cardinals beat the Florida Marlins 12-2 Wednesday.

That equaled the most runs the Cardinals have scored this spring as they had 16 hits, including a three-run homer by Bobby Bonilla, his fourth of the spring.

Morris, trying to reclaim his place in the Cardinals starting rotation, allowed two runs and eight hits in 5 1-3 innings. He struck out eight and walked one.

"I was in a good rhythm and felt more comfortable as the game went along," Morris said. "I wasn't as concerned about mechanics and was thinking more about the end result. When I have my rhythm my pitches are better, sharper."

Morris gave up a solo home run to Charles Johnson in the second. Preston Wilson's RBI double in the sixth scored Florida's other run.

"I don't know what happened in the sixth inning," Morris said. "I felt comfortable but maybe I was losing some of my velocity. But overall, it was a positive day's work."

Mike Timlin, Gene Stechschulte, Steve Kline and Dave Veres combined to shut out the Marlins on two hits the rest of the way.

"Morris pitched better today than he has all spring," manager Tony La Russa said. "And for us to hold them with the wind blowing out, everyone pitched not just good but real good."

First baseman Mark McGwire got one hit in three-at bats, hitting fly ball outs the two other times. He singled home Fernando Vina with the first run in the first inning just ahead of Bonilla's shot. McGwire is 11-for-33 this spring with three homers and 11 RBIs.
