| Cardinals (38-27) | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 5 | 0 | 0 | 5 | 4 | 0 |

W: Kyle Lohse (7-2)
The Cardinals continue to hang with the Cubs, despite the temporary losses of Adam Wainwright and Todd Wellemeyer.
Kyle Lohse pitched well enough to win and Ryan Franklin got his 8th save as St. Louis squeaked by the Astros.
For Houston, Wandy Rodriguez pitched pretty well, but the unimproved Astros defense did him in. Rodriguez had a shutout in terms of earned runs. But those 5 unearned runs did the team in.
Both teams have an off day today.
