Welch Silences Seattle Bats
The St. Louis Cardinals picked up a win at Busch Stadium, knocking off the Seattle Mariners, 4-3. Starting pitcher Johnny Welch played a key role in the triumph. The Cardinals improved their record to 47-52 with the win over Seattle.

The Cardinals liked what they saw from Welch. The 22-year- old pitcher had a commanding presence on the mound, limiting the Mariners to 1 run on 4 hits over 8 innings, and striking out 8.

"I went out and just tried to do my job," said Welch.
