Cardinals Trip Twins, 7-4, in Extra Innings
Deivi Cruz led St. Louis to a win over Minnesota. The final score was 7-4. The Nizao, Dominican Republic native collected 2 extra-base hits, including 1 home run and 1 double. Rheal Cormier, credited with the save, is now 3 for 4 in save opportunities. St. Louis has now won 3 straight, while the Twins have lost 3 in a row.

Cruz had a game-changing home run in the top of the 13th. On a 1-2 fastball from Chris Reitsma, he banged a 3-run home run to left-center, giving the Cardinals a 7-4 lead. It was the 2nd home run of the year for Cruz.

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