The Yankees broke a tie game in the top of the ninth by scoring four runs on only one hit, lifting them to an 8-4 win over the Cardinals that finished off a sweep at Busch Stadium. With the help of two errors by Cardinals second baseman Thomas Saggese, the Yankees (67-57) rallied for their fifth win in the past six games.

After losing to the New York Yankees on Sunday, the St. Louis Cardinals have now lost five consecutive games and six of their last eight. On Monday, they will kick off a three-game series against the Miami Marlins in hopes of getting things back on track.

The Yankees have finally done what had become impossible over the last two-plus months: win back-to-back series.

The St. Louis Cardinals have fallen to 61-64 on the season and are essentially out of postseason contention after being swept at home by the New York Yankees. T
