Gennett, Yankees Rough Up Cardinals
The Bronx Yankees knocked off the St. Louis Cardinals, 11-3, at Yankee Stadium I. Scooter Gennett, who captured player of the game honors, was a big reason Bronx won. The first baseman went 3 for 4 with a home run and a double, while adding 5 RBI and scoring once. The winner was Matt Young, who threw 106 pitches over 6 innings. The left-hander was charged with 2 runs on 3 hits. Luis Aquino converted his 2nd save in 2 tries.

With Bronx leading 5-2 in the bottom of the seventh, Gennett hit a splitter from Keith Comstock for a grand slam home run. It was his 12th home run of the season and put the Yankees ahead, 9-2.

"I'm just happy to help the team win," Gennett told the Bronx Daily News.

The winning streak has now reached 5 games for Bronx.
