The Cards beat down the Astros 7-0 and the Cubs beat the Brewers which means the Cards are in second place and trailing by 2 games. Duncan had a big game hitting a three run bomb for #21. He wound up going 3-5 with 4 RBI. Ankiel went 3-5 with a RBI and Pujols went 3-5 as well. Looper pitched great and this Cardinals staff is really coming around for the big stretch.
