Houston Astros vs St. Louis Cardinals Live Streaming. At the very least, the St. Louis Cardinals would like to get a lift from right-hander Jake Westbrook for the rest of this season. Houston Astros vs St. Louis Cardinals Live. The Houston Astros are hoping right-hander Brett Myers keeps producing for them for far longer than that. Westbrook makes his NL debut at Busch Stadium on Monday when the NL Central-leading Cardinals open a three-game series against a resurgent Astros club that just signed Myers to a contract extension.

After spending the last nine-plus seasons with Cleveland, Westbrook was acquired by St. Louis on Saturday in a three-team deal that sent outfielder Ryan Ludwick to San Diego. Westbrook, 6-7 with a 4.65 ERA in 21 starts, is not under contract following this season, but his focus is advancing to the postseason for the first time since 2007.

Westbrook faces the Astros for the second time in his career. Making his fifth career start, Westbrook gave up four runs in a 5-3 loss in Houston in 2001. He’ll face an Astros team trying to win six straight for the first time since Sept. 6-11, 2008. Pinch-hitter Jason Michaels hit a seventh-inning grand slam Sunday, and Houston capped off a 6-3 homestand with a 5-2 win over Milwaukee. The Astros are 19-30 on the road, but they’ll look to win five straight in St. Louis in one season for the first time. Myers could help them accomplish that feat. The right-hander, who has pitched at least six innings in a franchise-record 21 consecutive starts, was rewarded Sunday with a two-year extension that could be worth up to $29.5 million if the club picks up the 2013 option and he meets certain performance bonuses. If the Astros weren’t looking to re-sign him, Myers likely would have followed Roy Oswalt and Lance Berkman out of town prior to Saturday’s trade deadline.
