Andre Granillo closed the door for St. Louis, picking up his 3rd save of the year. The first-place Cardinals improved to 73-56.

The Cardinals got a lift from shortstop Tommy Edman, who in the top of the fourth hit a run-scoring triple. His 3rd triple of the season put the Cardinals on top, 3-0.

"If it's down the middle," said Nootbaar, "you might as well hit it."
