Cardinals Drop Royals, 6-5
Led by Mark Teixeira, the St. Louis Cardinals defeated the Kansas City Royals, 6-5. Teixeira went 2 for 4 with a home run, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once for the Cardinals. Josh Beckett got the win, improving to 3-2. He pitched 6 innings, giving up 6 hits and 4 runs, while striking out 4 and walking 4. The Cardinals, now 23-14, know that wins in May count the same as wins in September.

With St. Louis leading 2-0 in the top of the second, Teixeira hit a slider from Dave McKae for a grand slam home run. It was his 9th home run of the season and put the Cardinals ahead, 6-0.

"Winning is not something we take for granted," Teixeira said.
