Cardinals Win at Minnesota, 8-4
St. Louis right-hander Miguel Batista pitched his team to victory over the Minnesota Twins at Metrodome. The final score was 8-4. In 9 innings, Batista surrendered 6 hits, while striking out 5 and walking 2. He allowed 4 runs. The Cardinals bumped their record to 63-62 with this latest triumph.

St. Louis used the bat of Brian S Giles to get the win. The first baseman hammered a 2-run home run in the top of the fifth inning to put the Cardinals ahead, 5-3. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it did its damage.

"Miguel is tough when he's hitting his spots," said St. Louis manager Adam Rabel.
