Houston Astros starter Brian Moehler pitched seven innings scoreless innings, allowing two hits, two walks and five strikeouts. Both hits were singles. Jose Valverde, coming off that nasty headache, pitched a perfect ninth inning with three strikeouts. Houston beat St. Louis last night 6-1.
Cardinals slugger Albert Pujols went 0-4 with two strikeouts. However, he is still hitting .357 on the season.
Hunter Pence, batting leadoff, had a double and is now batting .293 on the season. Both he and Kaz Matsui drove in runs with two outs.
