Red Sox Stumble, Lose to Cardinals
The St. Louis Cardinals topped the Boston Red Sox, 8-4, in Federal League action at Fenway Park. The player of the game was St. Louis pitcher and Joliet, Illinois native Mike J Grace. In 6.1 innings, Grace surrendered 7 hits, while striking out 5 and walking 0. He allowed 3 runs. With the win over Boston, the Cardinals improved to 35-39.

St. Louis used the bat of Ivan Calderon to get the win. The designated hitter hammered a grand slam home run in the top of the fifth inning to put the Cardinals ahead, 6-2. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it did its damage.

"We came out aggressive," said Cardinals manager Adam Rabel. "We came out swinging the bats."
