Troy Glaus had a grand slam, while Rick Ankiel and Aaron Miles also homered for St. Louis, which has taken the first two games of the series following a three-game sweep at the hands of the Kansas City Royals. "The home runs are great and everyone loves the home run, it's the glamour thing, Glaus said. "The bottom line is we scored nine runs, that's what we needed to do and that's our job.
