| Dramatic finish! I must say that the starting pitching has been doing well. The relievers (except for Wellemeyer) have also been doing well. Offense has been doing okay. We get a lot of hits, but we aren't yet converting them into runs. BTW, I checked on Pujols. I guess he did hit into a lot of DPs last year (23). |

Skip Schumaker had 2 base hits as the St. Louis Cardinals won in dramatic
fashion over the Houston Astros by a score of 4 to 3 at Busch Stadium.
St. Louis scored the decisive runs in a big bottom of the 9th inning with 2
runs using 3 hits. David Freese started the inning off right when he lined a
base-hit. Schumaker stepped up to the plate and he doubled. Colby Rasmus
then banged out a single. Rasmus took second on the throw. Despite losing,
Houston out-hit St. Louis 13 to 10.
The victory went to Kyle McClellan(2-0) who went 2 innings, allowing no runs.
Jose Valverde(1-1) was tagged with the loss in relief.
'What a game!,' McClellan said afterward. 'When we won it I almost couldn't
believe it!'
