Albert Pujols brough his big bats to the game against the Houston Astros on Wednesday night and he used them to hit two homeruns, and also a RBI single as they Cardinals went onto beat the Astros 6-4. Pujoles who had got into a heated argument with Astros pitcher Bradon Backe about Pujols slide in Tuesday’s night game, said he played with some emotion, but that wasn’t why he hit better. He says video tapes and making a few adjustments helped him out.
Rick Ankiel had two RBI’s for the Cardinals and Troy Glaus chipped in one. Nice night for the big three hitters in the Cardinals lineup.
Braden Looper got the win for the Cardinals as he moves to 2-0 on the season. Looper pitched 5.2 innings and allowed five hits and three earned runs. Randy Flores gave up an unearned run in the 7th inning as well.
