Cardinals Topple Rangers with Late Rally
The St. Louis Cardinals picked up a win at Arlington Stadium, knocking off the Texas Rangers, 7-4. Starting pitcher Francisco Cordova was an essential part of his team's success. Randy Myers converted his 6th save in 8 tries. The second-place Cardinals now have a 11-game winning streak.

St. Louis second baseman Royce Clayton contributed a timely at-bat in the top of the eighth. With two down, he hit a changeup into left field for a 2-run single. It was his 58th hit of the season and put the Cardinals ahead, 7-4.

"I found a nice groove out there," said Cordova.
