Luis Díaz helped his team muscle past the Houston Astros, 7-2. In the game, the St. Louis first baseman was 2 for 4 with a home run and a double, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once. Donn Roach earned his 1st save in 3 chances. St. Louis is now riding a 4-game win streak.

With St. Louis leading 2-0 in the bottom of the second, Díaz hit a slider from Bernardo García for a bases-clearing double. It was his 20th double of the season and put the Cardinals ahead, 5-0.

"Being able to play a game for a living is one thing. Being able to play it well and contribute to a win is even better," Díaz told the St. Louis Daily News.
