St. Louis designated hitter Juan García had a 3-RBI game, which helped his team beat the Washington Nationals, 6-1. The save was credited to Carlos A. Salazar, his 2nd. The loss has the Nationals at 5-5.

St. Louis used the hitting of Eric Anderson to pick up the win. The second baseman clubbed a 2-run home run in the top of the second inning to put the Cardinals on top, 3-0. For the game, Anderson had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"I still think this team has room for improvement," Anderson told the St. Louis Daily.
