The Cardinals have dropped back-to-back games after falling to the Houston Astros 8-5 at Minute Maid Park. Andre Pallante was charged with the loss after allowing six runs on six hits over three innings pitched. Alec Burleson, Masyn Winn and Nolan Gorman each slugged a home run. St. Louis is now third in the NL Central at 28-and-31 and will look to salvage its series finale this afternoon.
