The New York Yankees lost 13-7 to St. Louis, a game that Brian Cashman had hoped to improve the team's bullpen at the trade deadline. Angel Chivilli, who was acquired from the Rockies in the offseason, struggled in the eighth inning, allowing six batters to reach base, including Nathan Church, whose three-run homer put St. St. L. Louis ahead. The Yankees had rallied from a six-run deficit to take the lead in the seventh on a homer from new first baseman Luis García Jr. The Cardinals made it 6-0 on Burleson's second homer of the night. Despite a strong performance from the Yankees, they were no match for the Cardinals.
