St. Louis Gets 9-5 Win
The 9-5 St. Louis win over Arizona was due in large part to Zak Taylor. The Cardinals center fielder went 3-4 with a triple, a double, and a walk. He scored 3 runs. Arizona, at 49-50, has lost 4 straight.

Early in the game, Taylor had a run-scoring triple for St. Louis. It was his 1st triple of the season and put the Cardinals on top, 1-0.

"Our approach was just to try to see something over the plate and be aggressive," Taylor told the St. Louis Daily.
