The St. Louis Cardinals stopped the Pittsburgh Pirates, 6-5, behind an impressive performance from Matt Williams. The two-time Gold Glove winner made life miserable for Pittsburgh pitching. He went 2 for 4 with 2 home runs and a walk. He drove in 3 runs and scored twice. St. Louis reliever Dan Plesac was the winner. His record is now 2-3. Bryan Clark took the loss. The Cardinals, now 19-14, know that wins in May count the same as wins in September.

St. Louis used the timely hitting of Stan Javier to seize the win. The left fielder stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the tenth inning to put the Cardinals on top, 6-5. It was his only hit in 3 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"You can't get too high when things go well, or too low when things go bad. Right now, I'm just happy we got the win," Javier told the St. Louis Daily News.
