St. Louis Gets Another L, 4-0
The St. Louis Cardinals got a sterling performance from pitcher David Herman, but the New York Mets still prevailed, 4-0. Herman threw 6.0 innings allowing 2 runs. New York reliever Justin Kilday was the winner. His record is now 2-3. David Herman took the loss. The losses continue to add up for St. Louis, which has now fallen 11 times in a row.

Curt Tolley, the 30-year old first baseman , had a direct impact on the outcome. Tolley contributed a run-scoring single in the top of the fifth inning to put New York up, 2-0.

"I warned the team before the game," losing manager Leyland Thomas told reporters, "that I'm wearing the same pair of undies until we win."
