The St. Louis Cardinals knocked off the New York Giants, 15-3, at Polo Grounds 1890-1910. Dick Johnston was a big reason St. Louis won. The center fielder was 4 for 5 with a home run, a triple, 2 singles, and a walk, while scoring 3 and driving in 5. Dan Sheehan earned the win to go to 5-6. He allowed 3 runs on 11 hits, with 1 walk and 2 strikeouts in 9 innings of work. At 57-48, St. Louis is in 5th place in the National League.

Early in the game, Johnston had a solo home run for St. Louis. It was his 5th home run of the season and put the Cardinals on top, 1-0.

"We took advantage of our opportunities," Johnston told the St. Louis Citizen. "It's as simple as that."
