Overview
- Masyn Winn ripped a bases-clearing double in the 10th to cap a 7-5 win Sunday, completing a three-game sweep of the Astros in Houston.
- A routine grounder that Brice Matthews misplayed at third and a Bryan King hit-by-pitch loaded the bases in the 10th to set up Winn’s decisive swing.
- Astros starter Mike Burrows retired the first 14 hitters before St. Louis strung together a four-run fifth, while Cardinals lefty Matthew Liberatore logged six innings of one-run ball.
- Houston pulled even in the eighth when Yordan Álvarez launched a solo homer and Isaac Paredes punched a two-run single after a wild pitch moved runners up.
- The sweep was St. Louis’ first three-game series win in Houston since 2004 and it pushed the Cardinals’ win streak to five as the Astros slipped to 8-15.
