Cardinals Win in Glorious Fashion
Jim Thome did all he could to help his team win. In the end, though, it wasn't enough to keep the Kansas City Royals from losing, 8-7, to the St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium. Thome went 2-3 with a home run, a double, and 2 walks, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 2. St. Louis reliever Steve Chitren got the win, raising his record to 6-1. Kevin Rogers was tagged with the loss. St. Louis is now 75-51.

St. Louis took a 8-7 lead on Jim Edmonds's 62nd hit of the season. The run-scoring single, which Edmonds hit in the bottom of the tenth, left Kansas City pitcher Kevin Rogers shaking his head.

"It was offense that won us the game," said winning manager Adam Rabel.
