Astros Victors, 7-5, at St. Louis
The Houston Astros spoiled a good performance by St. Louis shortstop Jeremy Pena, bumping off St. Louis, 7-5, at Busch Stadium. Pena was 2 for 4 with a home run and a double. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. Jhoan Duran notched his 6th save in 6 chances. Houston is now 73-66, St. Louis 49-90.

It could have been a different outcome for Houston, had it not been for Steven Kwan, the 27-year old left fielder . Kwan contributed a run-scoring sacrifice fly in the top of the fourth inning to put Houston up, 4-3.

"We'll take some time to unwind," said Kwan, "and then get after it again."
