Cardinals Edge Past Royals, 5-4
The St. Louis Cardinals turned back the Kansas City Royals, 5-4, at Busch Stadium. Juan Encarnación, in particular, had a fine performance. He went 3 for 4 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. St. Louis is now 29-31, while Kansas City is 29-31.

The game was still up for grabs in the bottom of the ninth. With one out, Encarnación hit a fastball from Gabriel Llanes for a run-scoring single. The Cardinals, in dramatic fashion, had a walk-off win.

"Juan was ready to go. Big day for him," said St. Louis manager Ty Van Burkleo.
