Brewers Use Late Score to Top Cardinals, 7-6
The Milwaukee Brewers beat the St. Louis Cardinals, 7-6, in part because of designated hitter Jim Smith. He went 3-5 with a home run and 2 singles, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once. The victory gives the Brewers a record of 53-38.

The game was all tied up in the top of the ninth, until Smith delivered big-time for Milwaukee, stroking a dramatic run-scoring single off Carlos A. Salazar. The game-changing hit put the Brewers on top, 7-6.

"It was offense that won us the game," said winning manager Doug Dascenzo.
