Twins Saddle Cardinals with 8-4 Loss
Despite a fine performance by left fielder Marcell Ozuna, the St. Louis Cardinals lost to the Minnesota Twins, 8-4. Ozuna was 3 for 4 with a home run and 2 singles, while scoring 2 times and driving in 2. The Twins sit in 5th place in the American League with a record of 35-37.

Norm Siebern was 1-3 with a home run and a walk. He drove in 3 runs and scored once for Minnesota. The 26-year old right fielder had a key at-bat in the bottom of the sixth. With one out and runners on 1st and 3rd, he broke a 4-4 tie with a run-scoring sacrifice fly off Si Johnson. It was his 29th RBI of the season.

"Big team win," Siebern said later.
