Alec Burleson had a three-home run game as the St. Louis Cardinals defeated the New York Yankees 13-7. Burleson finished with six RBIs, per Sportsnet.
The Cardinals arrived in New York having navigated a busy trade deadline and appeared ready to prove themselves on the field. They knocked Yankees pitcher Cam Schlittler, described as a Cy Young candidate, out of the game after just a few innings, per Yahoo Sports and Viva El Birdos.
Beyond Burleson's performance, Nathan Church and Jimmy Crooks also homered for St. Louis in the lopsided affair. The Cardinals' offensive display overshadowed the deadline moves that preceded the game.
