StL 6, Mil 3

Wednesday, May 13- Stan Musial's first home run of the season, a three-run blast in the first inning, carried the St. Louis Cardinals to a 6-3 win over the Milwaukee Braves at Sportsman's Park tonight. The Cardinals (17-13) have now won six straight games.

Musial drove a Warren Spahn (3-5) offering deep over the right field wall, scoring Don Blasingame and Gino Cimoli ahead of Stan "The Man," setting the Cards to an early 3-0 lead.

The Cardinals stretched the lead to 5-0 before the Braves struck for three runs in the seventh inning. But that was as close as Milwaukee (13-13) got before succumbing to Larry Jackson (5-2) with relief help from Bob Gibson (2nd save).

Cimoli had three hits for the Cardinals, as did Musial.
