With second baseman Mark Loretta leading the charge, the Texas Rangers defeated the St. Louis Cardinals, 8-4, at Busch Stadium. Loretta, who is tied for 10th in the FL with a .360 on-base percentage, was 3-4 with 3 singles and a walk, while scoring 2 runs. Bob Ojeda was the winning pitcher. Over 7 innings, he allowed 4 runs on 5 hits, with 3 walks and 7 strikeouts. Texas is 4th in the Federal League Central Division with a record of 59-56.

Chipper Jones contributed a productive at-bat in the top of the first. With runners on 1st and 2nd, he reached on an error by the C, driving in 1 run. It was one at-bat that helped Texas get the win.

"We came out aggressive," said Rangers manager Sean Norman. "We came out swinging the bats."
