The St. Louis Cardinals stymied the Kansas City Royals, 4-2, at Royals Stadium. Brian S Giles, who had a good day at the plate, was named player of the game. He hit 2 home runs, while adding 3 RBI and scoring twice for St. Louis. Randy Myers picked up the win in relief, improving his record to 6-0. Armando Benitez was tagged with the loss. St. Louis now has a 3-game win streak.

Brian S Giles was involved in some late-game drama. With no one out in the top of the 11th, Giles hit a solo home run. It helped St. Louis snatch the win.

In postgame remarks, Giles simply said: "Here's to a great win!"
