Cardinals Win at Home, 5-1
St. Louis pitcher Nestor Cortes did his part in helping his team defeat the Houston Astros, 5-1. The opposition could never get too much going against the left-hander. Edward Mujica notched his 13th save of the season. St. Louis has now won 4 straight.

Anthony Rendon, who finished 5th in the NL in wins above replacement with 5.9 in 2015, came through for St. Louis with a run-scoring double in the bottom of the fourth. The third baseman went 2 for 3 for the game, including 1 home run and 1 double. He scored 1 run and collected 2 runs batted in.

Rendon attributed the win to "everyone pulling their weight."
