Houston Defeated By Cardinals, 6-3
St. Louis right fielder Jason Heyward was a significant contributor in his team's 6-3 triumph over the Houston Astros. He was 2 for 4 with a home run. He scored 2 runs and drove in 4 for the Cardinals. Daniel Missaki, the winning pitcher, improved to 2-2. He pitched 7.2 innings, giving up 8 hits and 3 runs, while striking out 4 and walking 2. The Astros fall to 5-11 and continue their lackluster start to the 2025 season.

St. Louis took a 6-2 lead on Heyward's 1st home run of the season. The 3-run home run, which he hit off David Lopez in the bottom of the seventh, propelled St. Louis to the win.

"Our approach was just to try to see something over the plate and be aggressive," Heyward told the St. Louis Daily.
