Astros

The Astros fought to a hard earned win vs the Cardinals on Monday night, 5 - 3. Karl Pringle pitched 1 batter over the minimum in his 4 scoreless innings pitched and Garrett Hester pitched the last 3 innings in the full 7 inning game. Key plays in the game was an outstanding diving catch with bases loaded at 3rd and force the player out at the base for a double play and an deep in the hole stop of a ground ball at 2nd by Chris St.Aubin in the last inning to stop Cardinal rallies. Patrick Morris of the Cards kept the Astros hitters relatively quiet in this game, but the 1st win of any playoff series is key. Next up on Wednesday is the winner of the Cubs and Rockies game.
