Soto Lit, Cardinals Win, 9-6
The St. Louis Cardinals trumped the Oakland Athletics, 9-6, at Busch Stadium. St. Louis left fielder Juan Soto was terrific. He was 3-4 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk. He scored 2 runs and drove in 4. The winner in relief was Lucas Giolito. The right-hander allowed 1 run on 3 hits in 1.2 innings. He now owns a record of 8-6. Duane Underwood Jr. was credited with the save, his 3rd in 3 tries.

Soto had a game-changing home run in the bottom of the sixth. On a full count fastball from Alex Vesia, he banged a 3-run home run to right, giving the Cardinals a 7-6 lead. It was the 41st home run of the year for Soto.

"We can always improve and get better, but we're feeling confident after that win," said Soto.

The triumph puts St. Louis at 65-55 for the season.
