Cardinals Handle Rays, 7-2
The St. Louis Cardinals got a stellar performance from pitcher Jordan Montgomery, who handcuffed the Tampa Bay offense en route to a win, 7-2, at Busch Stadium. Montgomery, now 9-6, was the winner. In 7 innings, he gave up 6 hits, while striking out 5, walking 0, and allowing no runs. At 64-52, St. Louis is in first place in the National League Central Division.

Paul Goldschmidt dealt the Rays a blow in the bottom of the fourth. Batting with runners on 2nd and 3rd and St. Louis leading 1-0, Goldschmidt, who led the NL in slugging percentage with .578 in 2022, hit a 2-1 changeup for a 2-run single.

"It was a solid team effort," Montgomery said. "That's usually what it takes to win."
