Albert Pujols got the Cards on the board in the 1st inning with a sacrifice fly, and then belted his 1st homerun of the season off reliever Ray King in the bottom of the 8th.

Ryan Ludwick homered in his first start of the season, while going 3-5 as the Cardinals routed the Nationals at home. Brendan Ryan also homered while going 4-5. Braden Looper was hit early, but was able to avoid the "big inning" while giving up 2 runs. Odalis Perez was roughed up in the 2nd and 5th innings which led to an early exit for him.

Albert Pujols went deep for Cards, but it wasn't enough. Chad Cordero walked Pujols and and Duncan in the 9th, but Adam Kennedy flew out to right to end the game.

Michael Bourn's single, the only hit for the Astros, was enough to hand Kyle Lohse his 1st defeat of the season. Bourn singled and stole 2nd, advanced to 3rd on a ground out, and then scored on Lance Berkman's sacrifice fly. Wandy Rodriguez held the Cardinals to just 2 hits in 6 innings of work, and the bullpen was able to keep the Cards from scoring.

Lance Berkman's walk-off homerun in the bottom of the 14th pushed the Astros over the Cardinals, 7-6 in 14 innings. Neither bullpen was able to hold on to a lead before heading to extras as Oscar Villareal gave up 4 runs without even recording an out, and Jason Isringhausen gave up 2 runs to blow the save in the 9th. Albert Pujols hit a 2-run homerun for Cardinals, but Berkman's 4th hit of the game ended it.
