Cardinals Win at Atlanta, 5-4
The St. Louis Cardinals picked up a win at Braves Stadium, dropping the Atlanta Braves, 5-4. Alex Ortiz, who finished 4th in the NL in strikeouts with 206 last year, was the difference-maker. The Cardinals now own a record of 63-77.

Who knows how it would've ended, had it not been for Bob Sanchez? The 26-year old right fielder Sanchez stroked a 2-run double in the top of the seventh inning to put St. Louis up, 4-2. For the game, he was 2 for 3, including 1 double and 1 single.

"Alex attacked hitters and trusted his stuff," said St. Louis manager John Smith.
