Extra-Inning Win by Cardinals Over Twins
The St. Louis Cardinals besoiled an otherwise fine performance by Minnesota third baseman Eric Chavez by beating the Twins, 8-7, at Busch Stadium. Chavez slugged 2 home runs. He drove in 5 runs and scored twice. St. Louis reliever Arthur Rhodes picked up the win, upping his record to 2-4. Chris Reitsma was saddled with the loss. St. Louis has run its win streak to 5 straight.

The decisive blow was delivered by Dmitri Young in the bottom of the tenth when he hit a solo home run off 27-year old right-handed pitcher Chris Reitsma to win the game for St. Louis. The home crowd went nuts.

"We kept coming at guys," St. Louis manager Tony LaRussa said. "We kept digging."
