Brendan Donovan (27) hit a two-run homer and an RBI single to propel the St. Louis Cardinals to a 6-5 victory over the San Francisco Giants on Thursday in Birmingham, Ala., as Major League Baseball paid tribute to the Negro Leagues.

Heliot Ramos hit a three-run homer for the Giants, who lost their third consecutive game.
