Cardinals Take Tight Tilt
Benefiting from an exceptional performance from Ivan Calderon, the St. Louis Cardinals defeated the Kansas City Royals, 4-3. Calderon went 3 for 4 with a home run and 2 singles, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once for the Cardinals. St. Louis is 52-37 and Kansas City, with the loss, 57-31.

One consequential at-bat came in the bottom of the sixth. With runners on 1st and 3rd, the batter, Royce Clayton, grounded out, driving in 1 run. It made the score 4-3, St. Louis, and helped them go on to win.

"The effort we put into this one paid off," Clayton said.
