The Cardinals held off a late rally from the Los Angeles Dodgers in a 7-6 win at Busch Stadium. Giovanny Gallegos stranded the Dodgers’ potential game-tying run at first in the ninth after giving up a solo home run earlier in the inning to pick up his tenth save of the season. Johan Oviedo earned his second win out of the bullpen. Albert Pujols hit the 685th home run of his career in the victory, and Nolan Gorman launched the eighth of his rookie campaign. The Cardinals improve to 48-and-42, and they send Adam Wainwright to the mound against Los Angeles tonight.
