Cardinals Clipped, 6-2
The Boston Red Sox picked up a win at Busch Stadium, topping the St. Louis Cardinals, 6-2. On the mound for Boston was right-hander Tanner Houck. He played a principal role in the triumph. The Boston winning streak has reached 3 games.

Boston used a timely hit from Jorge Polanco to get the win. The pinch hitter stroked a 2-run double in the top of the ninth inning to put the Red Sox ahead, 4-2. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it made an impact.

Boston manager Chris L was pleased with the team's effort. "It was just a good, gutsy performance by everybody," he said.
