Albies, Cardinals Rough Up Royals
The St. Louis Cardinals beat the Kansas City Royals, 13-3, at Busch Stadium. The Cardinals got a fine performance from second baseman Ozzie Albies, who captured player of the game honors. He was 4-5 with a home run, a double, and 2 singles. He scored 4 runs and drove in 3. Lucas Giolito got credit for the win, improving to 3-5. He allowed 3 runs on 2 hits in 6 innings. The 4th-place Cardinals lifted their record to 20-26.

Albies had a big at-bat with runners on 2nd and 3rd in the bottom of the second inning, when he hit a 2-run double. The Cardinals went on to win.

"We came out aggressive," said Cardinals manager John Mondo. "We came out swinging the bats."
