Cardinals 3, Royals 0
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Jake Westbrook started a critical 1-2-3 double play to end a fourth-inning threat as the Cardinals won for the fifth time in six games. With the bases loaded and nobody out, Westbrook got Jeff Francoeur to ground to the mound. Westbrook threw to catcher Yadier Molina, who whipped the ball to first to complete the double play. Matt Holliday snapped the scoreless tie in the eighth with a two-run homer.
