Good production from first baseman George H Burns helped the St. Louis Cardinals topple the Brooklyn Robins, 8-7. Burns went 3 for 4 with a home run, a double, and a walk. He scored 2 runs and drove in 4 for the Cardinals. St. Louis reliever Babe Adams picked up the win to move to 4-4. Vean Gregg suffered the loss. St. Louis has a 3-game win streak, while Brooklyn has lost 3 in a row.

Burns contributed in the top of the fifth. With the bases loaded, he hit a 2-run double. It was one at-bat among others that helped St. Louis get the win.

"Our goal is to improve each and every day," Burns told the St. Louis Observer.
