Dan Ford brought his A-game to help St. Louis defeat the San Francisco Giants, 3-1. Chris Rapley earned his 2nd save in 4 tries. The victory gives St. Louis a record of 80-67.

Fernando Contreras had a big solo home run for the Cardinals in the bottom of the sixth inning.

The result was his 26th home run of the season, which put the Cardinals on top, 3-1.

"Winning is contagious," said Contreras. "We're looking forward to the next game."
