Cardinals Bang Out 7-2 Win Versus Tampa Bay
Behind the hitting of Ronny Paulino, the St. Louis Cardinals stopped the Tampa Bay Giants, 7-2. Paulino went 3-4 with 3 singles, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once for the Cardinals. The winner in relief was A J Burnett. The right-hander allowed no runs on no hits in 1.1 innings. He now owns a record of 2-1. With the win, St. Louis upped its record to 52-41.

Had Angel Pagan not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and a runner on 2nd, Pagan hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 3-2, in favor of the Cardinals.

Paulino told a St. Louis Bulletin reporter that he was "satisfied" with the win.
