Looking for his fifth straight winning decision, Wandy Rodriguez will try to help the Houston Astros move closer to the division-leading St. Louis Cardinals when the clubs continue a three-game series tonight.

The Astros, who are 29-18 since losing a season-high seven in a row in May, are three games behind the Cardinals, who have dropped four in a row at Houston dating to last season.

Looking to match a career high for wins, Rodriguez has not allowed a run in 17 straight innings over his last three starts.

The lefthander will have to try and stop Albert Pujols. The two-time NL MVP continues to lead the majors with 34 homers and 90 RBI.

Todd Wellemeyer will make his first start in almost two weeks for St. Louis. Facing Houston for the first time this season, Wellemeyer is 0-1 with a 1.42 ERA in three starts versus the Astros.
