Explorers Win Nail-Biter
Jim Horrigan led St. Louis to a win over Los Angeles. The final score was 7-6. The first baseman collected 2 extra-base hits, including 1 home run and 1 double. St. Louis improves to 86-62 with the win. They lead their division by 6½ games.

St. Louis used a clutch hit from Danny Torre to get the win. The pinch hitter drilled a solo home run in the top of the tenth inning to put the Explorers ahead, 7-6. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a game-changer.

"We put it together today and came out with the win," Torre said in postgame remarks. "That's the main thing."
