The St. Louis Cardinals picked up a win at Rogers Centre, knocking off the Toronto Blue Jays, 1-0. On the mound for St. Louis was left-hander Zack Thompson, who played a pivotal role in the win.

The Cardinals got a big at-bat from catcher Willson Contreras. For the game, Contreras went 1 for 3 with a home run. In the top of the fifth, with the bases empty, he stroked a solo home run. His 15th home run of the season gave St. Louis a 1-0 lead.

"We'll put that win in the can," said Contreras, "and go after the next one."
