Montreal Gets 13-3 Win
In the 13-3 Montreal win over Normal, the impact of Alex Najera was substantial. Najera, who is tied for 2nd in the TR in hits with 57, was 2 for 4 with a home run and 2 walks, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 3. Henry Sifuentes, credited with the win, is now 3-1. He allowed 3 runs on 10 hits in 9 innings. Their 25-10 record puts the Cardinals first in the TML R Otto Velez Division.

Geoff Strobbe had a big bases-clearing double for the Cardinals in the top of the second inning. With Montreal leading 1-0 and the bases loaded, he got a fastball from 18-year old left-handed pitcher Ruben Cruz and swatted a double to center. It was his 9th double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Cardinals ahead, 4-0.

"I like the roll we're on," said Montreal manager Emmanuel Even.
