ST. LOUIS (SnS) – The slumping Houston Astros rode a fine starting performance by Bud Norris and some solid relief work to outlast the St. Louis Cardinals here Wednesday night, 4-2. The win broke a five–game losing streak for the Astros, and insures they’ll leave St. Louis taking at least one game in this series (the 4-game set wraps up tomorrow evening at 7:15 CDT.)Read More

ST. LOUIS (SnS) – The 2011 Houston Astros are very accomplished at finding unique and different ways to lose, you can say that for them. I suppose in a season where they are likely to lose 110+ games, that sort of skill is a requirement. The Astros lost to a mediocre St. Louis Cardinal team here tonight, 3-1. It was the second night in a row they dropped a game to the Dreadbirds, this time squandering a nice complete game start by Brett Myers in the process.Read More
