Extra-Inning Win by Cardinals over Royals
Cardinals designated hitter Brian S Giles put his stamp on his team's 8-6 win over the Kansas City Royals. Giles went 3-5 with a home run and 2 singles. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2 for St. Louis in the contest. The win was Steve Chitren's in relief. His record improves to 2-0. Armando Benitez took the loss for Kansas City. St. Louis is now riding a 3-game win streak.

Giles had a game-changing home run in the top of the tenth. On a 1-1 fastball from John Habyan, he banged a 2-run home run to right, giving the Cardinals a 8-6 lead. It was the 11th home run of the year for Giles.

"I like our moxie," said Cardinals manager Adam Rabel.
