Beckett Shackles Kansas City in 3-0 Cardinals Win
Josh Beckett never let the Royals get in a groove. The right-hander used his bread and butter, his sinker, to pitch the Cardinals to a win, 3-0. Fernando Rodney finished to wrap up his 8th save. With the victory, the Cardinals upped their record to 26-16.

Beckett, who was born in Spring, Texas, threw 107 pitches over 7.1 innings, while allowing no runs.

"I just tried to attack the bottom of the zone," Beckett said.
