The Minnesota Twins and St. Louis Cardinals cranked it up at Metrodome.

St. Louis Cardinals starter Chris Hammond was in a groove as he led his team to a win over the Minnesota Twins, 9-3. St. Louis now sits in 4th place in the Federal League Central Division at 62-62.

Placido Polanco had a big 2-run single for the Cardinals in the top of the eighth inning. With St. Louis leading 3-2 and the bases loaded, he got a fastball from Rob Dibble and stroked the single to center. It was his 111st hit of the season, and more importantly, it put the Cardinals ahead, 5-2.

"We played a good game and came out on top," said Hammond.
