St. Louis Downs Carolina, 5-3
St. Louis and Carolina duked it out and the Cardinals came out victorious.

The 5-3 St. Louis win over Carolina was due largely to Malcom Nunez. The Cardinals first baseman was 2 for 3 with a home run and 2 walks, while scoring 2. Dario Gardea converted his 2nd save in 2 tries.

Andy Farley, the two-time All-Star , had a direct impact on the outcome. Farley contributed a run-scoring walk in the top of the fifth inning to put St. Louis up, 2-1.

"Enjoyed this one," Nunez told the St. Louis Daily News. "But it's back to work tomorrow."

The 5th-place Aviators have lost 4 straight games.
