The Cardinals downed the Athletics 2-1 in a low-scoring affair in St. Louis. Ivan Herrera hit his 13th homer of the season on a go-ahead two-run blast in the sixth inning to propel the Cardinals to victory. Starting pitcher Miles Mikolas earned his seventh win after tossing six innings of one-run ball. JoJo Romero recorded his sixth save as St. Louis improved to 69-and-71.
The Cardinals send Matthew Liberatore to the mound against the A’s tonight.
