St. Louis Stopped, 9-6, by Cleveland
Cleveland and St. Louis duked it out and the Guardians came out victorious.

St. Louis got a terrific game from second baseman Eddie Leon. It wasn't enough, though, to prevent the team from falling to Cleveland, 9-6. Leon was 2-4 with a home run, while scoring 2 and driving in 4. The 8th-place Cardinals have dropped 4 straight games.

The Cardinals had been locked in a 3-3 tie with the Guardians going into the bottom of the sixth inning. That changed quickly when the 25-year old second baseman Jose Baez came to the plate. Baez hit a 2-run double on a 1-1 fastball from St. Louis hurler Jeff Suppan. It was Baez's 5th double of the year.

"I was seeing the ball well tonight," said Baez.
