Masyn Winn, whose two-out single sparked a four-run uprising in the fifth inning, delivered a bases-clearing double in the top of the 10th that lifted the St. Louis Cardinals to a 7-5 win over the host Houston Astros and a three-game interleague series sweep.
Winn plated Ivan Herrera, Jordan Walker and Ramon Urias by driving an 0-1 fastball from Houston left-hander Bryan King (0-1) into the left-field corner. Winn, a Houston-area native, finished 5-for-15 with seven RBIs in the series.
The Astros countered the Cardinals' four-run fifth by scoring three runs with two outs in the bottom of the eighth. Yordan Alvarez ignited the comeback with his third home run of the series and 10th of the season, a solo shot off JoJo Romero before Jose Altuve singled and Christian Walker worked a 10-pitch walk. Isaac Paredes followed by snapping an 0-for-20 skid with a two-run single to right-center off Cardinals closer Riley O'Brien (3-0) that tied the game at 4-4.
Houston seized a 1-0 lead in the third against Cardinals starter Matthew Liberatore when Taylor Trammell produced his first career triple with one out in the frame. Trammell scored when Carlos Correa lifted a sacrifice fly to Victor Scott II in shallow center, with Scott short-hopping his throw home off the mound.
Liberatore allowed one run on three hits and two walks with four strikeouts over six innings.
Astros starter Mike Burrows retired the first 14 batters he faced and had a two-strike count on Winn before the bottom suddenly fell out beneath him in the fifth. Winn bounced a 2-2 slider into left for the Cardinals' first hit before Nathan Church walked and Pedro Pages reached on an infield single to Paredes at third that loaded the bases.
Scott tied the game with a bases-loaded walk that plated Winn, and JJ Wetherholt delivered a two-run single to right that scored Church and Pages and chased Burrows. Herrera greeted reliever Steven Okert with a single that capped the four-run rally.
Burrows allowed four runs on three hits and two walks with seven strikeouts over 4 2/3 innings. All three starters for the Astros in the series surrendered four earned runs.
