Cardinals Hope Win Turns Around Slow Start
The St. Louis Cardinals racked up a win at Busch Stadium, bumping off the Boston Red Sox, 4-3. Chris Hammond, who started for St. Louis, pitched effectively for his team. Losses have been few and far between for the Red Sox so far this season. Their record drops to 3-1.

St. Louis took a 4-1 lead in the bottom of the eighth inning. With one out, first baseman Brian S Giles hit a 3-run home run that set the crowd abuzz.

In postgame comments to the St. Louis Bulletin, Giles said, "If the effort is there, the wins will come."
