Polanco Delivers Walk-Off Win for Cardinals
The St. Louis Cardinals got a good effort from starter Andy Benes in defeating the Boston Red Sox at Busch Stadium. The final score was 3-2. The third-place Cardinals have won 4 in a row.

Placido Polanco was the walk-off hero for St. Louis. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Cardinals third baseman hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

Benes pitched well, despite being a bit under the weather. "To be honest, I was sick before the game," he said. "Just a stomach bug."
