Cardinals Score Late to Beat White Sox, 4-3
The St. Louis Cardinals weathered an outstanding game by Chicago left fielder Anastasio Mendoza to topple the White Sox, 4-3. Mendoza was 4 for 4 with 2 doubles and 2 singles. Carlos A. Salazar converted his 17th save in 21 tries. The win has St. Louis at 58-90.

Had Brian Schales not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and a runner on 2nd, Schales hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 4-3, in favor of the Cardinals.

St. Louis manager Aaron Thompson called it "a darn good win."
