Zimmerman Impresses in San Diego Loss
The first-place St. Louis Cardinals picked up another win.

San Diego third baseman Ryan Zimmerman was sensational. He was 4 for 5 with a home run, a double, and 2 singles, while scoring 2 and driving in 3, but it wasn't enough to rally his team to a win. St. Louis beat the Padres, 9-6. Brandon Kintzler got credit for the win, improving to 1-0. He allowed no runs on 3 hits in 1.2 innings.

In the bottom of the sixth, St. Louis designated hitter Ichiro Suzuki had a productive at-bat. With the bases loaded and one out, Suzuki stroked a run-scoring single to right. It made the score 8-6, St. Louis. For the game, he was 1 for 4 with a walk.

"It was offense that won us the game," said winning manager Chris James.

St. Louis is now 28-17, 3 games up in the NL Central Division.
