Olson Hits Two Homers in 7-4 Win for St. Louis
The game between St. Louis and Kansas City is in the books, despite a little rain.

The St. Louis Cardinals beat the Kansas City Royals by a score of 7-4. first baseman Matt Olson deserved the lion's share of the credit. Olson went 2-2 with 2 home runs and 2 walks, while scoring 3 times and driving in 2 for the Cardinals. The winner was Luiz Gohara, who threw 93 pitches over 5.2 innings. The left-hander was charged with 2 runs on 4 hits.

Austin Meadows, the 25-year old right fielder , had a direct impact on the outcome. Meadows contributed a 2-run home run in the top of the first inning to put St. Louis up, 2-0.

"The vibe's good," said St. Louis manager Tyler Wagner. "We've got to keep it going."

The National League Central Division-leading Cardinals are 75-41.
