With right fielder Fernando Contreras leading the charge, the St. Louis Cardinals defeated the Toronto Blue Jays, 9-1, at Busch Stadium. Contreras, who is on pace to hit 40 home runs this season, was 2-4 with 2 home runs and a walk. He drove in 3 runs and scored twice. The win elevated the Cardinals to 64-41.

Making an impact for the home team was Jay Gunter. In the bottom of the third, the 27-year old third baseman had a run-scoring sacrifice fly. That made the score 3-1, Cardinals.

"Good pitching stops good hitting," said Gunter. "And vice-versa."
