St. Louis turned a good effort from starter Shota Imanaga into a win over the Tampa Bay Rays at Tropicana Field. The Cardinals won the game, 5-1. After today's action, St. Louis sits at 44-87; Tampa Bay slips to 46-84.

Who knows how it would've ended, had it not been for Andruw Monasterio? The 28-year old third baseman Monasterio stroked a 2-run double in the top of the seventh inning to put St. Louis up, 3-1. For the game, he was 2 for 4, including 1 double and 1 single.

"It takes a lot of things to win a ballgame," said St. Louis manager Jason B. "It's usually not just one thing."
