Atlanta continued their winnings ways improving their record to a division leading 93-33. They are 9-1 in their last ten games. Not able to get much going in recent weeks, Tampa Bay is 1-9 of late and now has an overall record of 52-74. ST. LOUIS AT KANSAS CITY Cardinals....... 4 2 1 0 2 0 0 0 3 - 12 15 3 Royals.......... 0 6 0 3 0 0 0 1 0 - 10 7 2 Win:Bruney(7-3) Loss:Linebrink(2-5) Save:Nathan(36th) Homeruns- R.Shealy(6th), D.Wright(23rd), A.Ethier(18th), M.Fontenot(6th) David Wright added four ribbies to his seasonal total with one swing of the bat at Kauffman Stadium as the potent St. Louis Cardinals won in dramatic fashion coming back to beat the Kansas City Royals by the count of 12 to 10. St. Louis erupted with the game winning runs in the top of the 9th inning with 3 runs utilizing 4 base hits. Mark Derosa led off and he smacked a single. Jimmy Rollins came next and he slapped a single. Rollins was safe on a stolen base. Brian Giles followed and he stroked a single. Rick Ankiel came to the plate and grounded into a double play. Ryan Shealy joined his teammates in the uprising and ripped a solo home run (his 6th of the season). Adam Dunn was the next batter, but he struck out. It was roller coaster of a game as the lead change hands 5 times. Brian Bruney(7-3) got the win allowing no runs in 1/3 of an inning. Bruney got help from Joe Nathan who was credited with his 36th save. Scott Linebrink(2-5) was tagged with the loss in relief. Jason Blue was understandably not very talkative after his team's tough loss. He quickly showered and changed and when asked about the game had a terse, yet polite response, 'Hey fellows, that game was a heart-breaker to lose. Our guys gave it their all and played well - fate just wasn't smilin' on us this afternoon'
