Runs in bunches for STL

Curtis Granderson extended his hitting streak to 12 games, and three different Tigers homered, but it wasn't enough to beat the Cardinals in Detroit. Ivan Rodriguez hit just his third home run, Miguel Cabrera hit his 11th and Gary Sheffield, freshly back from the DL, hit his fourth. Unfortunately for the Tigers they were all solo shots off of Braden Looper.

The Cardinals got three in the sixth off of red-hot Tigers starter Kenny Rogers, and then followed it up with three more in the seventh, all the runs but one coming on singles. Birds get another road win after taking two of three in Boston, 8-4.

St. Louis is just 3.5 games behind the Cubs thanks to Chicago's loss to Baltimore at Wrigley.
