Browne goes 4-for-5, Leads Cardinals to Win
No one was more impactful than Byron Browne in the 11-7 St. Louis win over San Francisco. Browne, who finished 4th in the AL in doubles with 44 in 1997, was 4-5 with a home run and 3 singles, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 3. The Cardinals raised their record to 43-45.

The Giants had been locked in a 5-5 tie with the Cardinals going into the top of the fourth inning. That changed quickly when the 21-year old second baseman Eddie Leon came to the plate. Leon hit a 2-run double on a 1-0 changeup from San Francisco hurler Doug Rau. It was Leon's 17th double of the year.

"Just trying to keep things simple and helping the team win any way I can," Browne told a local reporter after the game.
