The St. Louis Cardinals topped the San Francisco Giants, 3-1, in NL action at Busch Stadium. The game was highlighted by the performance of St. Louis pitcher Mike Pelfrey. In 7.1 innings, Pelfrey surrendered 4 hits, while striking out 5 and walking 2. He allowed 1 run. St. Louis now has a record of 70-54 with the win.

St. Louis designated hitter Nomar Garciaparra contributed a timely at-bat in the bottom of the fifth. With two down, he hit a curveball to left field for a run-scoring single. It was his 94th hit of the season and put the Cardinals ahead, 3-1.

Garciaparra called the win a testament to his team's "grit."
