Cardinals Get Gritty, 4-3 Win
The St. Louis Cardinals picked up a win at Minute Maid Park, taking down the Houston Astros, 4-3, in 12 innings. On the mound for St. Louis was left-hander Andrew Miller. He played a central role in the triumph. Kevin Slowey closed it out for St. Louis, earning his 1st save. St. Louis now sports a record of 14-24.

St. Louis used a timely hit from Ryan Doumit to get the win. The catcher stroked a run-scoring double in the top of the 12th inning to put the Cardinals ahead, 4-3. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it made an impact.

"To become 'battle-tested,'" said Miller, "you need to compete in this kind of contest."
