Cardinals Take Down Firestorm, 5-4
The Cardinals grabbed a win, 5-4, at Busch Stadium, overcoming a fine effort from Arizona pitcher Matt DeWitt. DeWitt went 7 innings and allowed no runs. The Cardinals, now 12-5, have been playing some good baseball.

Carlos Gomez was the walk-off hero for St. Louis. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Cardinals left fielder hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

"We cashed in when we had the chance," said St. Louis manager Chris James.
