Cardinals Top Red Sox, 3-0, Behind Franklin
The St. Louis Cardinals went home winners at Fenway Park, thanks in large part to starter Ed Franklin. Franklin stifled the Boston Red Sox, enabling St. Louis to grab the 3-0 win. Picking up his 1st save was 33-year old left-handed pitcher Kyle Crockett. St. Louis is off to a hot start at 5-2.

Franklin, the St. Louis right-hander, went 8 innings, allowing no runs on 5 hits. He collected 6 strikeouts.

"Ed was doing a good job pouring in strikes," said St. Louis manager Ty Van Burkleo.
