6-3 Cardinals Win over Cubs Evens Season Record
St. Louis Cardinals starter Mike Sirotka was in a groove as he led his team to a win over the Chicago Cubs, 6-3. St. Louis raised its record to 66-66 with the win.

Had Hideki Matsui not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 2nd and 3rd, Matsui hit a 2-run single. That made the score 4-2, in favor of the Cardinals.

"We'll pop the top on a cold beverage and get back to work tomorrow," Sirotka said.
