Tigers Win at St. Louis, 7-4
The Detroit Tigers dealt the St. Louis Cardinals a 7-4 loss at Busch Stadium. Orlando Cepeda was the star on offense. He was 2-4 with a home run. He scored 2 times and drove in 2. Detroit reliever Jay Howell was the winner. His record is now 8-1. Chuck Estrada took the loss. Craig Kimbrel, credited with the save, is now 5 for 6 in save opportunities.

Detroit used the bat of Jody Davis to get the win. The catcher hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the sixth inning to put the Tigers ahead, 5-2. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it did its damage.

"Nice to see our side come away with the win," Cepeda said after the game.

The Tigers now have a record of 28-45.
