The Cardinals got a big at-bat from left fielder Jose Alberto Martinez. For the game, Martinez was 1-4 with a home run, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. In the bottom of the first, with a runner on 1st, he stroked a 2-run home run. His 8th home run of the season gave St. Louis a 2-0 lead.

"I just tried to attack the bottom of the zone," Chen said.
