Uggla helps Marlins beat Cardinals in 11 innings

[September 06, 2008]  ST. LOUIS (AP) -- Dan Uggla singled in the go-ahead run in the 11th inning and the Florida Marlins beat the reeling St. Louis Cardinals 4-1 on Friday night.

The Cardinals blew their major league-leading 30th save chance on Mike Jacobs' 29th homer off rookie Chris Perez with one out in the ninth. Jacobs' shot to center field on a low fastball was his first in 70 career at-bats against St. Louis pitching. Uggla's hit came off an 0-2 fastball from another rookie, Jason Motte.
