Astros closer Brett Myers didn't expect to pitch on Tuesday night against the St. Louis Cardinals after Houston entered the ninth inning ahead by five. After St. Louis put up two quick runs on a triple off David Carpenter, Myers had to quickly warm up. He then allowed a full-count, two-run homer to Rafael Furcal that closed the gap to one run before settling in to shut down the Cardinals and help the Astros hold on for a 9-8 win.
