Karros Hits 2 home runs in Cardinals Win
Behind a solid performance from designated hitter Eric Karros, the St. Louis Cardinals defeated the Milwaukee Creams, 9-4. Karros went 4 for 5 with 2 home runs and 2 singles, while scoring 3 times and driving in 3 for the Cardinals. Andy Benes, who went 8.2 innings, was the winning pitcher. He was charged with 4 runs on 7 hits, while walking 2 and striking out 5. His record now stands at 3-3. St. Louis has a 3-game win streak, while Milwaukee has lost 3 in a row.

A crucial at-bat came with a runner on 1st and no one out in the top of the seventh inning. That's when catcher Jorge Posada, who is tied for 2nd in the FL in doubles with 12, hit a single. The Cardinals went on to win.

Karros expressed little emotion after the game. "Every game we win now," he said, "is one less win we'll need to get in the end."
