Cardinals Thrill Fans with 8-6 Win
Alex Najera knocked in 4 runs to help Montreal beat Wichita, 8-6. The Sombrerete, Mexico native tallied 1 single and 1 home run. Alex Cardona snagged the win in relief. The right-hander allowed 1 run on 1 hit over 1.2 innings. He's now 3-1 on the season. The winning continues for Montreal, with the latest triumph making it 10 straight.

The game was decided with one out in the bottom of the ninth. With Montreal trailing 6-4, Najera jumped on a fastball from 18-year old right-handed pitcher Dustin Booth and hit a grand slam home run to right-center. With one swing, the Cardinals had a walk-off win.

"What a buzz," said Najera after it was over.
