San Francisco Beats St. Louis, 7-4
San Francisco starter Cory Lidle pitched effectively against the St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium. The right-hander led his team to a win, 7-4. Bob Howry recorded the save. In save chances, he's now 25 for 27. The 10th-place Giants now have a win-loss record of 67-54.

An inflection point occurred with no one out in the top of the fourth. That's when Giants first baseman Todd Helton hit a fastball from Darryl Kile for a 2-run single. Just like that, San Francisco was up, 2-1.

"I still think this team can play even better," Helton told the San Francisco Citizen.
