The Lions got a big at-bat from second baseman Luis Moreno. For the game, Moreno was 1 for 3 with a double and a walk. He drove in 3 runs. In the bottom of the fifth, with the bases loaded, he stroked a bases-clearing double. His 12th double of the season gave St. Louis a 6-3 lead.

Cruz called the win the result of "everyone working in tandem."

The Blues, now 31-31, have lost 6 straight.
