An RBI triple by Orlando Ortiz, his 50th of the year, drove in John Burt with one out in the 8th inning to give St. Louis a lead that it would not relinquish in a 6-3 win today over Brooklyn.
St. Louis has now taken the first three games of this critical four-game set and leads Brooklyn by seven in the National League.
Steve O'Herlihy went the distance, allowing 10 hits and 3 walks, striking out three.
