Cornwell, now 3-2, was the winner. In 8 innings, he gave up 6 hits, while striking out 4, walking 0, and allowing 1 run. St. Louis is now 38-44. Houston is 42-39.
Cornwell contributed in the bottom of the seventh. With runners on 2nd and 3rd, he reached on an error by the 1B, driving in 1 run. It was one at-bat among others that helped St. Louis get the win.
"When Jack is on, he can really move the ball around," said St. Louis manager Babe Johnson. | |
