Aug. 29, 2007 - K.B.'s Daily St. Louis Cardinals report
Yesterday, the Cardinals started a new series against the Astros, a rival team. To make things more interesting, it was the Astros first game after letting former manager Phil Garner go. And to make thing even more interesting, the Cardinals were facing their former team, Woody Williams on the mound. The game got started off well for the Cardinals as Chris Duncan hit a three-run-homerun in the 1st to give the Cardinals a 3-0 lead. And in the 2nd, Aaron Miles doubled in Yadier Molina to give the Cardinals 4-0. But it did not stop there. In the 5th, Rick Ankiel and Albert Pujols each singled and Jim Edmonds walked. Chris Duncan singled in Ankiel and Scott Rolen singled in Pujols to extend the lead to 6-0. And in the 6th, Rick Ankiel doubled in Aaron Miles. The Cardinals pitching was excellent, as they did not allowe a run in the game to give the Cardinals 7-0 lead.
Cardinals starter Braden Looper pitched 7 great innings and only allowed 4 hits. Russ Springer pitched the 8th inning and did it hitless. And Troy Percival allowed to hits in the 9th but was able to secure the win. Looper gets the win, his 11th.
The Cardinals were able to bang out a total of 16 hits. Rick Ankiel went 3-5 with 2 runs scored and a RBI. Albert Pujols went 3 for 5 with a run scored. Chris Duncan went 3 for 5 with a run scored and 4 RBIs. Yadier Molina went 2 for 5 with a run scored. And #9 hitter, Aaron Miles, went 2 for 4 with run scored and a RBI.
Today the Cardinals will try to repeat what they did yesterday against the Astros at 7:05 CT. Kip Wells (6-14 5.41 ERA) will start for the Cards and Roy Oswalt (13-6 3.33 ERA) for the ‘stros.
