Houston Claims 5-0 Victory
The Houston Astros went home winners at Busch Stadium, thanks in large part to starter Jeff Karstens. Karstens stifled the St. Louis Cardinals, enabling Houston to grab the 5-0 win. Houston bumps their record to 42-48 with the win.

Houston took a 4-0 lead on Will Ford's 10th home run of the season. The 3-run home run, which Ford hit in the top of the ninth, left St. Louis pitcher Chris Waters shaking his head.

Ford attributed the win to "an all-around good team performance."
