Cardinals Take Home 3-1 Win Over Boston
In a tight tilt between the St. Louis Cardinals and the Boston Braves, Fred Hutchinson was the deciding factor. The St. Louis right-hander spearheaded the 3-1 win. Hutchinson, who is tied for 6th in the NL with a 5.0 K/9 rate, went the distance for St. Louis. He gave up 1 run on 8 hits. With the loss, Boston drops to 7-13.

The outcome was still in doubt with two out in the top of the ninth inning, but Hutchinson was able to pitch out of a jam. With the bases loaded and Boston trailing 3-1, Hutchinson retired Johnny Hopp, who popped out.
