Cardinals Win in Extras, 11-8
The St. Louis Cardinals and Philadelphia Phillies lit up the scoreboard.

The St. Louis Cardinals pushed past the Philadelphia Phillies, 11-8, in 12 innings at Veterans Stadium. Moises Alou went 2-5 with a home run and 2 walks, while scoring 3 runs and driving in 3, to lead the charge. St. Louis reliever Octavio Dotel was the winner. His record is now 4-2. Huston Street took the loss.

St. Louis used the clutch hitting of Mark Teixeira to capture the win. The first baseman drilled a bases-clearing double in the top of the 12th inning to give the Cardinals the lead, 11-8. For the game, Teixeira had 2 singles and 1 double in 7 at-bats.

"Moises leaves the last at-bat behind him, whether it was good or bad, and goes up there and competes on every pitch," said St. Louis manager Tony LaRussa.

Philadelphia's current losing streak has reached 4 games.
