Devil Rays Stumble, Lose to Cardinals
St. Louis starter Rene Arocha had a strong outing against the Orlando Devil Rays at Orlando Citrus Bowl. The right-hander was a big part of his team's 8-4 win. The win puts the Cardinals at 25-23, while the Devil Rays drop to 25-24.

St. Louis relied on the hitting of Steve Finley to pick up the win. The left fielder clubbed a 2-run home run in the top of the second inning to put the Cardinals on top, 3-0. For the game, Finley had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"I had pretty good command out there," said Arocha.
