Multi-HR Game for Olson in 8-1 Win
St. Louis first baseman Matt Olson was instrumental in his team's 8-1 win over the Houston Astros. Olson, who is on pace to hit 48 home runs this season, went 3-5 with 2 runs scored to lead the offensive attack for the Cardinals. Their 40-65 record puts the Cardinals last in the National League Central Division.

Olson had a key at-bat for St. Louis early in the game. With runners on 1st and 2nd, he hit a 3-run home run. It was his 31st home run of the season and gave St. Louis an early 3-0 lead.

"I'm just happy to help the team win," Olson told the St. Louis Times.
