St. Louis Loses Again
The Kansas City Royals locked up a win at Busch Stadium, knocking off the St. Louis Cardinals, 5-2. On the mound for Kansas City was left-hander Danny Jackson. He played a major role in the triumph. Jeff Montgomery stitched up the save, his 15th. The slumping Cardinals have lost 6 straight.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Mike Sweeney? The Kansas City first baseman had a 2-run double in the top of the third inning to put the Royals on top, 3-0. For the game, Sweeney had 1 double and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"Danny pounded the strike zone and made good pitches when he needed to," said Kansas City manager .
