Houston 8, St. Louis 5: the Astros best an ancient foe.

June is the time of year when the contenders start to separate themselves from the pack, or the pretenders come down to earth. It is common for mediocre teams to put together a good month or even two, but after about 80 games, you generally know who the good teams are. After two months of baseball, the Astros are off to a bad start but wins like tonight will keep fans interested, if not hopeful.

The night started inauspiciously, as the Cardinals got on board in the top of the first with a solo homer from Alec Burleson; however, the Cardinals would not hold the lead for long.
