Cardinals Prove Rude Guests, Win 3-0 at Kansas City
St. Louis starter Miguel Batista pitched effectively against the Kansas City Royals at Royals Stadium. The right-hander led his team to a 3-0 win. Batista, now 1-0, was the winner. In 7.1 innings, he gave up 4 hits, while striking out 5, walking 1, and allowing no earned runs. Dana Allison converted his 1st save in 1 tries.

Karim Garcia did the little things right to help the team against the Royals. In the top of the first inning, he reached on an error by the third baseman, driving in 1 run, putting St. Louis in front, 1-0.

"I tell our guys all the time, 'Every pitch is the right pitch if you put it in the right place, you believe in it and have conviction,'" St. Louis manager Adam Rabel said.

St. Louis is now 54-55, while Kansas City is 65-44.
