Cardinals Send Tampa Bay Home with 3-2 Loss
The St. Louis Cardinals eked out a 3-2 win versus the Tampa Bay Rays at Jon Nunez Sr. Stadium. Nobody did more than pitcher Andy Nappi. He was terrific. The last-place Cardinals improved to 50-55.

The Cardinals got a big at-bat from first baseman Chad Gutshall. For the game, Gutshall was 1 for 4 with a home run. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. In the top of the first, with a runner on 1st, he stroked a 2-run home run. His 21st home run of the season gave St. Louis a 2-0 lead.

"Fun game," said Gutshall, "even when the outcome was in doubt."
