Cardinals Get Clutch Win, 8-7
The St. Louis Cardinals beat the Houston Astros, 8-7, in part because of right fielder Matt Kemp. He went 3 for 5 with a home run and 2 singles. He scored 2 times and drove in 3. The winner was Bucky Brandon in relief. His record improves to 2-4. Blake Parker took the loss. The winning streak has now reached 4 games for St. Louis.

With St. Louis trailing 7-5 in the top of the ninth, Kemp hit a fastball from Blake Parker for a 3-run home run. It was his 20th home run of the season and put the Cardinals ahead, 8-7.

"Winning never gets dull," said Kemp.
