Alec Burleson hit three home runs Monday night. The Cardinals beat the Yankees 9-6. They watched a six-run cushion disappear. Burleson reclaimed the advantage. His third homer ended up breaking a late deadlock. He remained with the Cardinals through the trade deadline. After the game he talked about his night at the plate. The Yankees just could not quiet him. They could not match all that surge of power from the Cardinals collection of hitters.
