Creams Lose, 9-3, at Busch Stadium
The St. Louis Cardinals relied on the hitting of catcher Jorge Posada to stop the Milwaukee Creams, 9-3. For the game, Posada was 1 for 2 with a home run and 2 walks. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2. Mark Portugal got the save, his 1st in 1 chances. St. Louis goes to 72-65, Milwaukee to 67-68.

With St. Louis leading 2-0 in the bottom of the fourth, Posada hit a fastball from Todd Van Poppel for a 2-run home run. It was his 18th home run of the season and put the Cardinals ahead, 4-0.

"You've got to ride the highs and the lows in baseball in order to succeed," Posada told the St. Louis Daily News. "Right now I'm feeling good, but that don't mean squat for tomorrow."
