    The St. Louis Cardinals kept rolling at the plate, hitting a home run for the eighth straight game. And this time, the slugger's name wasn't Pujols, Holliday or Berkman.

    Allen Craig, starting in place of Lance Berkman, who got the night off, hit a three-run shot in the fifth inning and the Cardinals routed the slumping Los Angeles Dodgers 9-2 Saturday night to win their fourth in a row and sixth in seven games.
