Cardinals Deal Blue Jays 7-6 Defeat
The St. Louis Cardinals withstood an impressive performance by Toronto first baseman Aledmys Diaz to defeat the Blue Jays, 7-6, at Rogers Centre. Diaz was 2 for 3 with a home run, a double, and a walk, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. Pedro Strop, now 2-1, picked up the win in relief. He allowed no runs on 1 hit in 1.2 innings. Dellin Betances earned his 30th save in 32 chances.

St. Louis used the bat of Hernan Perez to get the win. The center fielder hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the fourth inning to put the Cardinals ahead, 6-3. It was his lone hit in 3 at-bats, but it did its damage.

"We'll enjoy this win," said Perez. "But there's more we hope to accomplish."

The victory gives St. Louis a record of 81-46.
