Lions Score Late, Topple Mavericks, 10-4
In the 10-4 St. Louis win over Houston, the impact of Cheng-ji Xú was substantial. Xú, who finished 3rd in the PBC in triples with 5 last year, went 1-2 with a home run and 4 walks, while scoring 2 times. St. Louis reliever David McGovern picked up the win, upping his record to 2-1. Teagan Read absorbed the loss. The Lions go to 39-41, putting them 6th in the PBC West Division.

Had Jayden Strauss not delivered a key base hit in the top of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 1st and 3rd, Strauss hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 5-4, in favor of the Lions.

"Enjoyed this one," Xú told the St. Louis Herald. "But it's back to work tomorrow."
