Cardinals 6 Houston 1

Lance Lynn gets his 17th win of the season. He struck out nine batters in seven innings. Rookie shortstop Pete Kozma homered again...

Yadier Molina went deep too...

The Cards win coupled with Milwaukee's loss to Washington drops the Cardinals magic number to clinch a playoff berth to six. Any combination of Cardinal wins and Brewers losses totaling six puts the Cardinals into post season.
