Cardinals Get Road Win, 8-3
Benefiting from John Valentin's productive game, the St. Louis Cardinals downed the Texas Rangers, 8-3. Valentin was 3-4 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk. He drove in 2 runs and scored once for the Cardinals. Bryce Florie, credited with the save, is now 1 for 1 in save opportunities. This win makes it 5 in a row for St. Louis.

Valentin had an important at-bat with the bases empty in the top of the seventh, when he hit a solo home run. The Cardinals went on to win.

"We took advantage of our opportunities," Valentin told the St. Louis Gazette. "It's as simple as that."
