Meyerhoff Impresses in Kansas City Loss
Kansas City got a terrific game from catcher Mike Meyerhoff. It wasn't enough, though, to prevent the team from falling to St. Louis, 11-9. Meyerhoff was 3-4 with a home run, a triple, and was hit by a pitch, while scoring 3 and driving in 3. St. Louis reliever Steve Ryals was the winner. His record is now 1-2. The losing pitcher was Chris Irvin. Paul Gill collected save number 4.

The Cardinals got an important contribution from second baseman Antoine Roux, who in the top of the fourth knocked a 1-1 changeup into center for a 2-run triple. It was his 1st triple of the season and put the Cardinals ahead, 9-3.

"I like to lead by example," said Roux. "I'm glad I could contribute to a good win."

The Cardinals sport a record of 17-28.
