Méndez Slugs Martins to 10-8 Win
Javier Méndez added some punch to the Saint Louis offense, helping them outmuscle the St. Paul Saints, 10-8. In the game, Méndez, who is tied for 8th in the AL with a .543 slugging percentage, hit 3 home runs. He drove in 5 runs and scored three times. The winner in relief was Manny Morán. The right-hander allowed 1 run on 1 hit in 2 innings. He now owns a record of 5-0. The triumph puts Saint Louis at 51-51 for the season.

Saint Louis took a 6-3 lead on Méndez's 21st home run of the season. The 2-run home run, which he hit off Tony Dotson in the top of the seventh, propelled Saint Louis to the win.

"I'm just happy to help the team win," Méndez told the Saint Louis Observer.
