Suzuki Stars in 9-6 Cardinals Win
St. Louis designated hitter Ichiro Suzuki made his presence felt in the 9-6 Cardinals triumph over the Minnesota Twins. Suzuki went 3 for 4 with 3 singles and a walk. He scored 4 runs. At 2-1, the Cardinals have played well so far.

St. Louis used the timely hitting of Ryan Doumit to seize the win. The catcher stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Cardinals on top, 7-6. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"You know, at the end of the day, it's about who scores the most runs," said St. Louis manager Chris James.
