Cardinals Turn Back Marlins, 5-3
The St. Louis Cardinals relied on the hitting of center fielder Stan Javier to stop the Florida Marlins, 5-3. For the game, Javier went 3 for 3 with a double and 2 singles, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. Steve Chitren earned his 23rd save in 29 chances. St. Louis now has a 3-game win streak.

A crucial at-bat came with runners on 1st and 3rd and one out in the top of the fourth inning. That's when catcher Dan Wilson drew a walk. The Cardinals went on to win.

"You can't get too high when things go well, or too low when things go bad. Right now, I'm just happy we got the win," Wilson told the St. Louis Bulletin.
