Cardinals vs Astros
The Cardinals jumped ahead early, thanks to some poor Astros defense and wildness from their starter Wandy Rodriguez. Cards ace Adam Wainwright was dominant, striking out 8 while allowing just 1 run on 3 hits in 8 innings of work. The Cards padded their lead in the 4th and 5th with timely hits from César Izturis and Yadier Molina. Chris Perez pitched a scoreless 9th as the Cards defeated the Astros 6-1.
