Cards Lose Series Opener in Houston

June 7, 2008 By admin Leave a Comment

The Cardinals left their bats and gloves back in Washington.

Collecting just four hits and committing two costly errors, St. Louis dropped the first of a three-game series to Houston by a score of 6-1.

Starting pitcher Braden Looper (7-5) did not pitch poorly, but he did receive the loss thanks to a lack of run support and a couple of miscues behind him.

Already trailing 2-0 in the fourth, Cesar Izturis’ throwing error led to a pair of Astro runs when the shortstop’s acrobatic throw to second ended up in right field.  On the next play, catcher Yadier Molina dropped a throw from Albert Pujols that would have nailed Carlos Lee at the plate.

Houston starter Brian Moehler (3-2) shut out the Cards in his seven innings of work.  Jose Valverde struck out the side in the ninth.
