Batista Steers St. Louis Past Royals, 3-2
The St. Louis Cardinals got a rather unremarkable outing from starting pitcher Miguel Batista, but it was good enough for the club to take a 3-2 decision over the Kansas City Royals. The win boosts the Cardinals to 44-45. The loss puts the Royals at 54-36.

Batista was effective against the Royals, seldom allowing a hard-hit ball. The right-hander limited Kansas City to just 1 run on 4 hits over 8 innings.

"I tell our guys all the time, 'Every pitch is the right pitch if you put it in the right place, you believe in it and have conviction,'" St. Louis manager Adam Rabel said.
