Vikings' Asher Allen retires at age 24
ST. LOUIS, Aug. 25 (UPI) -- A sacrifice fly by So Taguchi capped a five-run sixth inning Saturday night, as the St. Louis Cardinals edged the Atlanta Braves, 5-4.
Taguchi, batting for winner Russ Springer, was the last of five players with one RBI. Three players had two hits each as the Cardinals got the third win in their last four games -- and snapped the nine-game personal winning streak of Atlanta pitcher Tim Hudson, who had two hits and two RBI in a losing cause.
One Atlanta run scored on Kelly Johnson’s homer in the third, and another scored on Mark Teixeira’s single in the sixth. Hudson hit RBI singles in the second and fourth innings.
Springer improved to 7-1 by hurling a scoreless fifth inning. Jason Isringhausen earned his 26th save.
Hudson (15-6) yielded five earned runs and nine hits in five innings.
