Jake Westbrook did it all for St. Louis on Wednesday, allowing three runs (two earned) on eight hits in five innings of work in addition to hitting a grand slam in an 8-3 Cardinals victory in Milwaukee.
The home run was the first of Westbrook's career. He entered tonight with just six RBI in 95 lifetime plate appearances. The start was far from his best, however, as he failed to complete at least six innings of work for just the second time in nine outings. The owner of a 3.73 ERA in 62 2/3 innings since the All-Star break, he'll get the Brewers again on Monday.
