In the second round of the baseball playoffs, the Cardinals pulled off another victory to put the Astros down 2-0. The Astros were the only team that won more games against the Cards than the Cards won against them, but that statistic isn't helping them any.
Last night in St. Louis, the Cards were shut out for four innings, down 3-0. Then started the fifth inning. With two outs, Walker hit a 2-run homer. Then Pujols got on base, and Scott Rolen, who had been experiencing a post-season slump (only 1 hit so far), hit another 2-run homer. Later, in the eighth inning, he hit another home run. The Cards won 6-4.
They face a formidable Roger Clemens in Houston tomorrow night, where potentially the next three games will be played. Cards will be starting Jeff Suppan, who is 11-1 on the road. Two more wins and the Cardinals go to the World Series, most likely to face the Yankess, who are also up 2-0 against the Red Sox.
