Devil Rays Jolt Cardinals with Late Rally
The St. Louis Cardinals and Orlando Devil Rays cranked it up at Busch Stadium.

The Orlando Devil Rays stopped the St. Louis Cardinals, 11-7, behind an impressive performance from Brian Jordan. The two-time All-Star made life miserable for St. Louis pitching. He was 2-3 with 2 singles and a walk, while scoring 2 times and driving in 3. Orlando reliever Rich Garces was the winner. His record is now 4-2. Francisco Cordova took the loss.

Orlando needed the clutch hitting of Jose Valentin to notch the win. The shortstop hammered a grand slam home run in the top of the ninth inning to put the Devil Rays on top, 11-7. For the game, Valentin had 1 home run and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"If it's down the middle," said Jordan, "you might as well hit it."

The Devil Rays bumped their record to 79-73 with this latest triumph.
