St. Louis third baseman Jay Bell was instrumental in his team's 12-5 win over the Kansas City Royals. Bell, who is a two-time Gold Glove winner, went 3-4 with 3 runs scored to lead the offensive attack for the Cardinals. Jay Tibbs was the winning pitcher. Over 7 innings, he allowed 4 runs on 5 hits, with 5 walks and 7 strikeouts. The first-place Royals have dropped 4 straight games.

A key moment came with one out in the bottom of the seventh. That's when Cardinals left fielder David Green hit a sinker from Rod Beck for a 3-run home run, putting St. Louis up, 12-4.

"It's nice to come out on top today," said Bell.
