With the help of four solo homeruns, the St. Louis Cardinals beat the San Diego Padres 4-3 Thursday night. Troy Glaus went deep twice, and Rick Ankiel and Joe Mather hit solo blasts, Mather’s proving to be the game winner for the Cardinals. Kyle Lohse went seven strong innings to pick up his 12th win of the season(12-2). Lohse allowed 7 hits and 2 runs in those 7 innings. Ryan Franklin came in and gave up a run, but picked up his 13th save of the season.
Our boy Albert Pujols went 1-4 to lower his season average to .348.
The same two teams will square off again this evening.
