Astros Win at St. Louis, 9-1
Houston starter Nick Neidert kept the St. Louis hitters in check, while his team cruised to a 9-1 win. Neidert, now 4-11, was the winner. In 5.2 innings, he gave up 7 hits, while striking out 5, walking 0, and allowing no earned runs. The Cardinals, at 39-65, have lost 4 in a row.

It could have been a different outcome for Houston, had it not been for Jorge Polanco, the 26-year old second baseman . Polanco contributed a 3-run home run in the top of the second inning to put Houston up, 4-0.

"If you pitch well, you give yourself some opportunities," said Houston manager Jim Reid.
