Jimenez had three poor starts in a row, but there was little reason to think it'd suddenly come crashing down for him. He was sharp from the onset today, and though the performance didn't rank with his most dominant so far this season, he was plenty good enough to beat a Cardinals lineup that's four deep right now. Jimenez is the first NL pitcher to win 15 games before the All-Star break since Greg Maddux in 1988.
