The St. Louis Cardinals overcame a pretty good performance by Philadelphia shortstop Johnny Lucadello, beating the Phillies, 7-6, at Busch Stadium. Lucadello went 2-3 with a home run and 2 walks, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 3. The 7th-place Cardinals now have a record of 50-53.

Eddie Leon, who was drafted in the 2nd round of the 1999 draft, took Philadelphia hurler Dixie Howell deep in the bottom of the eighth. His solo home run put the Cardinals on top, 7-6. In all, Leon had 1 single in addition to the home run, while going 2 for 5.

"If I do my job, we've usually got a good chance to win the game," said Leon.
