Mueller Helps St. Louis Outscore Houston
A good performance from catcher Ray Mueller helped the St. Louis Cardinals defeat the Houston Astros, 11-10. Mueller went 3 for 4 with a home run and 2 singles. He scored 2 runs and drove in 5 for the Cardinals. The win was credited to Kyle Gibson in relief. His record improves to 2-0. George Frazier took the loss. Joe Genewich closed it out for his 3rd save.

In the bottom of the sixth, Chick Fullis delivered a clutch hit. With two gone and the bases loaded, the St. Louis designated hitter hit a 2-run single, putting the Cardinals in front, 11-10.

Houston manager Claybor Finley expressed his frustration after the game: "That many runs and it still wasn't enough?"

With the loss, Houston drops to 5-3.
