With 10-4 Win, Cardinals Improve to 53-42
St. Louis starter Gordon Graceffo pitched effectively against the Chicago Cubs at Busch Stadium. The right-hander led his team to a win, 10-4. The Cardinals, at 53-42, sit in first place in the National League Central Division.

The Cubs had been locked in a 4-4 tie with the Cardinals going into the bottom of the sixth inning. That changed quickly when the 24-year old second baseman Nolan Gorman came to the plate. Gorman hit a 2-run home run on a 0-2 curveball from Chicago hurler Humberto Mejia. It was Gorman's 24th home run of the year.

"Nice to put this one in the win column," said Graceffo.
