Cardinals Win 3-2 Walk-Off
St. Louis Cardinals starter Daniel Missaki turned in a sterling performance against the Tampa Bay Rays, leading his team to a slim, 3-2 win. St. Louis, now 3-0, is setting the league on fire so far.

St. Louis got a clutch hit from Juan Encarnación. The right fielder launched a solo home run in the bottom of the ninth inning to win the game. It was his only hit in 3 at-bats, but it was a kill shot.

"Tough loss," said Tampa Bay manager Joey Cora. "But we'll learn from it."
