Cardinals 5, Astros 1
ST. LOUIS — Kyle Lohse threw eight dominant innings to beat the Astros for the second time in less than a month. Jon Jay had two RBIs in a four-run third and started a double play in the seventh with a diving catch in center. Pinch-hitter Pete Kozma, hitting for the injured Lance Berkman, had an RBI double in his first at-bat for the Cardinals, who have won three in a row while limiting foes to only three runs.
