Cardinals Capture 9-4 Win at Felipe Alou Field
The St. Louis Cardinals knocked off the Montreal Expos, 9-4, at Felipe Alou Field. Vincente Bórquez was a big reason St. Louis won. The left fielder went 2-3 with a home run and 2 walks. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2. Ryan McDowel, the winning pitcher, improved to 11-5. He pitched 6 innings, giving up 7 hits and 4 runs, while striking out 0 and walking 3. The setback makes Montreal 52-65.

The Cardinals got a lift from third baseman Monty Gunther, who in the top of the fourth hit a 2-run double. His 26th double of the season put the Cardinals on top, 3-0.

"It never gets old," said Bórquez. "Winning, that is."
