The St. Louis Cardinals defeated the Toronto Blue Jays by the score of 9-2, with the biggest share of the credit going to third baseman Jay Gunter. Gunter was 2 for 4 with a home run and a walk. He scored 2 runs and drove in 3 for the Cardinals on the day. Bill McEnerney got the win, improving to 1-0. He held the Blue Jays to 2 runs on 3 hits over 5 innings, while striking out 3 and walking 0. The win gives St. Louis a record of 1-1.

St. Louis used a clutch at-bat from Dave Smeal to capture the win. The catcher hammered a 2-run home run in the top of the second inning to put the Cardinals ahead, 2-0. It was his lone hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"We just try to have good at-bats, whether we're winning, losing, or tied," said Smeal.
