Despite a great performance by Atlanta catcher Herb Patterson, the St. Louis Cardinals defeated the Braves by the score of 4-3 at Busch Stadium. Patterson went 2 for 3 with a home run and a walk, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. St. Louis reliever Shingo Takatsu snagged the win, upping his record to 2-1. Matt Lindstrom shouldered the loss. Octavio Dotel collected his 3rd save.

St. Louis took advantage of an error in the bottom of the seventh inning. The game was tied, 3-3, when Mark Teixeira hit a run-scoring single that was misplayed. It put the Cardinals in front, 4-3.

"We found a way to get it done," Teixeira said.

The win for the Cardinals raised their record to 48-34.
