3-2 Loss to Cardinals Extends Houston Losing Streak
The St. Louis Cardinals and Houston Astros played an exciting game.

Craig Lefferts pitched well, but the Houston Astros still lost the game, falling 3-2 to the St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium 1973. Picking up the win was Ken Holtzman. He went 7.2 innings, allowing 2 runs on 7 hits. The left--hander struck out 3 and walked 2.

In the bottom of the seventh, St. Louis catcher Bob Watson gave his team the lead. With two out and a runner on 2nd, Bull hit his 3rd home run of the year. Houston pitcher Craig Lefferts surrendered it. With that, the Cardinals jumped in front, 3-2.

"Both teams played hard," said St. Louis manager Nathan Hall.

The loss has the Astros at 6-15.
