St. Louis Topples Minnesota, 6-2
The St. Louis Cardinals got a marvelous performance from pitcher Chris George. The left-hander kept the Minnesota offense from ever getting much traction. The result was an impressive 6-2 St. Louis victory at Busch Stadium. The setback makes Minnesota 77-77.

The Cardinals got a big at-bat from center fielder Alex Escobar. For the game, Escobar went 2-4 with a double. In the bottom of the fifth, with a runner on 2nd, he stroked a run-scoring double. His 19th double of the season gave St. Louis a 3-2 lead.

"Hustle and hard work is a big part of our success," said Escobar. "Those qualities define our team."
