Cardinals Top Devil Rays in 12
The Orlando Devil Rays wasted an impressive 8.1-inning effort from starter Jimmy Key, falling 2-1 to the St. Louis Cardinals at Orlando Citrus Bowl. Steve Chitren picked up the win in relief, improving his record to 5-6. Rich Garces was tagged with the loss. The Devil Rays, at 59-56, have lost 5 in a row.

The Cardinals got a big boost from pinch hitter Gerald Young who had a run-scoring single in the top of the 12th inning off Devil Rays hurler Rich Garces. It was his 17th hit of the season and put St. Louis on top, 2-1.

"Runs were at a premium," said St. Louis manager Adam Rabel.
