Dodgers Prevail, 5-4, Over St. Louis
Los Angeles beat St. Louis at Busch Stadium, eking out a 5-4 win. The win was due in large part to right fielder Yasiel Puig. He went 2-4 with a home run, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. José Cruz earned the win for Los Angeles. He lasted 6.1 innings, allowing 2 runs on 9 hits, while striking out 1. With the win, he raised his record to 7-5. Paco Rodriguez recorded the save for Los Angeles, his 8th of the season.

There was more than one reason the Dodgers beat the Cardinals, but Puig's big at-bat in the top of the third was an important factor. He staked his team to a 2-1 lead when he hit a run-scoring single.

"I like the grit of this ballclub," Puig said.

The win gives Los Angeles a season record of 34-31.
