Both teams had their chances, but the St. Louis Cardinals eventually prevailed.

The St. Louis Cardinals got a magnificent performance from pitcher Zack Thompson, who stifled the Baltimore offense en route to a 2-1 Cardinals win at Busch Stadium. Trevor Megill sewed up the save, his 5th.

In the bottom of the fourth, Ivan Herrera delivered a clutch hit. With two gone and the bases loaded, the St. Louis catcher hit a 2-run single, putting the Cardinals in front, 2-1.

"The old adage is true," said Thompson. "Good pitching stops good hitting."

St. Louis raised its record to 24-24 with the win.
