He allowed 2 earned runs on 7 hits, with 2 walks and 4 strikeouts. The first-place Cardinals have a one-game lead in their division.

One significant at-bat for St. Louis came with the bases loaded in the top of the fourth. Cardinals designated hitter Brian S Giles hit a bases-clearing triple, which helped St. Louis go on to win.

"Nice to see our side come away with the win," Valentin said after the game.
