Alec Burleson hits three home runs to help the St. Louis Cardinals beat the New York Yankees 13-7 on Monday at Yankee Stadium. The performance comes after the trade deadline passes with Burleson remaining on the Cardinals rather than being traded. Burleson drives in runs with a trio of two-run homers, each off different Yankees pitchers, including a long shot into the second deck in right field. His homers help ignite a late surge in St. Louis’s scoring, highlighted by a seven-run eighth inning that expands the Cardinals’ lead. Although St. Louis faces a tense game after previously holding a six-run advantage, it ultimately outlasts New York through the final score. Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol comments that Burleson stays focused on controllable factors amid the post-deadline “conversations.”
