ST. LOUIS, June 28 (UPI) -- Justin Morneau belted a key three-run homer Sunday, propelling the Minnesota Twins to a 6-2 inter-league victory against the St. Louis Cardinals.
The homer, Morneau's 17th this season, staked Minnesota to a quick 3-0 lead with one out in the top of the first inning.

Jason LaRue had two hits and one RBI and Rick Ankiel drove in a run for the Cardinals, who have lost five of seven.
