The Houston Astros picked up a win at Astrodome 1965, knocking off the St. Louis Cardinals, 4-3. On the mound for Houston was left-hander Jesus Rios, who played a pivotal role in the win. Rios went 6.2 innings to notch the win. He scattered 7 hits, walked 1, and struck out 8. His record improves to 3-2. Luis Aponte notched his 13th save in 16 chances.

The Astros grabbed the lead in the bottom of the third. With one out, Zail Smith hit a solo home run off John D'Acquisto, putting Houston in front, 4-0. For Smith, it was his 29th home run of the season.

"It takes a lot of things to win a ballgame," said Houston manager Michael Rogner. "It's usually not just one thing."

Houston has now won 3 in a row.
