Cardinals Down Royals, 6-5
Well, that's how to end a game in style.

Thanks in large part to designated hitter Juan García, the St. Louis Cardinals clipped the Kansas City Royals, 6-5, in 10 innings. García went 2 for 4 with a home run, a triple, and a walk, while scoring 2 and driving in 3. The St. Louis win streak is now 4 games.

The Cardinals got a clutch hit from first baseman Avery Romero. In the bottom of the tenth, he delivered a run-scoring single to win the game for the Cardinals.

"Our team found a way to get it done," said Romero.
