Virtue went 3-4 with a triple, a double, and a walk. He scored 2 times and drove in 2. The winning pitcher was Billy Hart. He tossed 126 pitches over 8 innings, allowing 8 runs on 13 hits. St. Louis, now 6-2, is playing great baseball to start the year.

"The hot tub feels extra good after a solid win," said Sexton.
