Valentin goes 4-for-5 in St. Louis Win
John Valentin left his imprint on the 13-8 St. Louis win against the Minnesota Twins. Valentin, who finished 4th in the NL in wins above replacement with 6.7 in 1998, was 4 for 5 with a home run and 2 doubles, while scoring 3 and driving in 2. Si Johnson, who went 7 innings, was the winning pitcher. He was charged with 4 runs on 5 hits, while walking 2 and striking out 5. His record now stands at 6-8. The 8th-place Cardinals improved to 66-89.

Willie Horton, who is on pace for 120 RBI this season, chipped in a solo home run for St. Louis in the bottom of the fifth. For the game, the first baseman had 3 hits in 4 at-bats with 1 home run, 2 singles, 2 runs scored, and 1 run batted in.

"I'm just out there trying to have as much fun as I can while I'm playing," Horton told the St. Louis Herald.
