Astros Beat St. Louis, 3-2
The Houston Astros faced a tough opponent in St. Louis pitcher Jose Fernandez, but did just enough to pull out the victory at Busch Stadium 1997-2005 by a final score of 3-2. Fernandez went 6.1 innings and allowed 1 run. Trevor Rosenthal notched his 28th save in 31 chances. The win elevated the Astros to 79-37.

Houston took a 3-2 lead on Michael Bourn's 22nd double of the season. The 2-run double, which Bourn hit in the top of the ninth, left St. Louis pitcher Edward Mujica visibly frustrated.

"This was a tough loss," said St. Louis manager AU Cards. "It'll stick in my craw for a while."
