Cardinals Subdue Charlotte, 6-4
The St. Louis Cardinals downed the Charlotte Knights, 6-4, at Busch Stadium. The Cardinals were led by Jorge Posada, who captured player of the game honors. He went 2 for 4 with a home run, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. Mariano Rivera picked up the win in relief, improving his record to 7-4. Tony Saunders was tagged with the loss. The Cardinals bumped their record to 81-78 with this latest triumph.

There was more than one reason the Cardinals beat the Knights, but Posada's big at-bat in the bottom of the seventh was an important factor. He staked his team to a 6-3 lead when he hit a 3-run home run.

"I'm just looking for a good pitch that I can hit well," said Posada. "And not try to do too much."
