Mason win was the hero, ripping a bassist clearing double down the third bass line to seal it. He went three for five, and powered up seven RBI's over the series. Houston mounted a late rally in the eighth, scratching back from four to one down. Jordan Alvarez crossed his league-leading tent-homer, and Isaac Paradees tied it with a two-run single after some clutch hits in a long walk. But in the bottom of the tent, they stranded the tying run when Christian Walker grounded into a fielders' choice. Cardinal Starter, Michael Liberatori, was sharp, giving up just one run over six innings. Houston's Mike Burrell's fan to season high-seven but unraveled, allowing four runs before the fifth. Riley O'Brien picked up the winner relief, and Gordon Gracebo nashed his first save. This Mark St. Louis' first sweep of Houston in a three-game set there since April 20, 2004. They're now 5-0 in extra inning games this year.
