St. Louis Cardinals starter Rene Arocha turned in an exceptional performance against the Minnesota Twins at Busch Stadium, resulting in a St. Louis win, 10-2. St. Louis has now won 3 straight, while the Twins have lost 5 in a row.

Steve Finley, who finished 3rd in the FL in stolen bases with 70 in 1993, aided the St. Louis cause with a run-scoring walk in the bottom of the fourth. For the game, the left fielder was 1 for 4 with a walk.

Minnesota manager Darren Fischbach called the blowout loss "a real stinker."
