Athletics Edge Cardinals, 5-4
The Oakland Athletics did just enough to sneak past the St. Louis Cardinals, 5-4, at Busch Stadium. Oakland pitcher Aaron Nola, in particular, had a standout performance. Gabriel Ynoa notched his 17th save in 19 chances. With the win over St. Louis, the Athletics improved to 63-76.

Oakland used a well-timed hit by Ismael Díaz to capture the win. The first baseman socked a run-scoring double in the top of the sixth inning to put the Athletics ahead, 2-1. Though it was his only hit in 4 at-bats, it was important.

"I was a little disappointed," said St. Louis manager Ty Van Burkleo. "We could've and should've scored more runs."
