Cardinals Walk It Off for 69th Win of Season
The St. Louis Cardinals picked up a win at Busch Stadium, taking down the Pittsburgh Pirates, 4-3. Starting pitcher George Kirby was a big reason why. Their 69-82 record puts the Cardinals last in the National League Central Division.

The decisive blow was delivered by Matt Wallner in the bottom of the ninth when he hit a solo home run off 28-year old right-handed pitcher Bowden Francis to win the game for St. Louis. The home crowd went nuts.

St. Louis manager Kelly Woolsey commended his team for "banging out a nice win."
