Cardinals Win to Extend Series Lead to 2-0
Florida left fielder Mike Greenwell pounded St. Louis Cardinals pitchers at Joe Robbie Stadium, but it was not enough to keep the Marlins from falling, 5-4 in Game 2 of the Division Series. Greenwell was 2 for 3 with a home run and a walk, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once and was named player of the game for his efforts, even as he saw the Marlins slip to a 2-0 deficit in the best-of-7 series.

The Cardinals beat the Marlins with some clutch hitting. The single by Stan Javier in the top of the eighth is a good example. With two down, Javier gave his team the lead, 5-4, when he came through with the big hit.

"We squandered some opportunities," said Florida manager Stephen Ginter.

Game 3 is scheduled for Friday in St. Louis. The scheduled starters for the game are Butch Henry for the Florida Marlins and Jay Tibbs for the the St. Louis Cardinals.
