Astros Mow Down Cardinals, 9-3
Thanks in large part to second baseman Luis Arraez, the Houston Astros beat the St. Louis Cardinals, 9-3. Arraez was 4 for 5 with a double and 3 singles. He scored 2 runs. Graham Ashcraft, the winning pitcher, is now 6-2. He went 6.1 innings, allowing 3 runs on 9 hits, while fanning 6 and walking 1. The win puts Houston at 33-28 this season.

Royce Lewis had a big bases-clearing double for the Astros in the bottom of the fourth inning. With Houston leading 4-3 and the bases loaded, he got a changeup from 27-year old right-handed pitcher Elvis Peguero and swatted a double to right-center. It was his 13th double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Astros ahead, 7-3.

"I feel like a little kid every time I put the uniform on," said Arraez.
