St. Louis Beats Miami, 3-0
Starting pitcher Ken Nicholson was a major factor in the 3-0 St. Louis Cardinals triumph over the Miami Marlins. Nicholson, the winner, moves to 7-9. He threw 5.2 innings of 3-hit ball, while fanning 4 and giving up 1 walk. Nelson Acosta earned his 13th save in 14 chances.

St. Louis used the hitting of Raúl Gómez to pick up the win. The third baseman clubbed a solo home run in the top of the eighth inning to put the Cardinals on top, 2-0. For the game, Gómez had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"It was a tough night at the plate," said Miami manager John Patterson.

The Cardinals, now 58-68, have won 4 in a row.
