St. Louis Beats Houston, 5-3
The St. Louis Cardinals picked up a win at Minute Maid Park 2000-2016, knocking off the Houston Astros, 5-3. Starting pitcher Sonny Gray was a big reason why. Edward Mujica earned his 31st save in 35 chances. The Cardinals lead the NL Central Division by 3 games.

St. Louis took advantage of an error in the top of the sixth inning. The game was tied, 2-2, when Logan Forsythe hit a 2-run single that was misplayed. It put St. Louis in front, 4-2.

"We cashed in when we had the chance," said St. Louis manager AU Cards.
