St. Louis Cardinals at Athletics
Final
Recap
WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Nick Kurtz hit a grand slam, J.T. Ginn pitched six innings of one-run ball and the Athletics beat the St. Louis Cardinals 6-2 on Wednesday night. Kurtz' slam got over Victor Scott II's glove in deep center field to give the A's the lead for good. It was the third career grand slam for the reigning American League Rookie of the Year, and extended his on-base streak to 36 games. Ginn (2-1) struck out three, walked one, and allowed nine hits. The run he allowed was unearned after a fielding error by Colby Thomas.
