Houston Earns 2-1 Win
|
In a tight game between the St. Louis Cardinals and the Houston Astros, nobody was more important for the winners than Justin Ekins. Ekins was masterful in the 2-1 win. Houston's record now stands at 61-74, placing them last in the Western Region Central Division.
Ekins had a game-changing home run in the top of the eighth. On a 1-2 fastball from Denver Gentile, he banged a solo home run to right, giving the Astros a 2-1 lead. It was the 33rd home run of the year for Ekins.
"That's baseball," said St. Louis manager Tommy Bushmaker. "Sometimes the other team plays better than yours."
