Alec Burleson delivered a bases-loaded double Sunday as the St. Louis Cardinals defeated the Chicago White Sox 3-1 at Busch Stadium, wrapping up a three-game series victory. Michael McGreevy was efficient on the mound, allowing one run over six innings.

The performance continues what MLB.com's Brenden Schaeffer characterized as Burleson's growing clutch gene as the season winds down. The matinee game came a day after the Cardinals' emotional Hall of Fame induction ceremony for Albert Pujols, Yadier Molina, and Sherder, which appeared to have dampened the energy in the stadium early on.
