MLB Baseball Betting Cards Seek Win Over Astros
The St. Louis Cardinals, (6-2) and Houston Astros, (3-6) will be hard-pressed to match the thrills provided in the series opening two contests after watching Astros shortstop Miguel Tejada beat the St. Louis Cardinals 5-3 on a walk-off two-run homer and Cardinals third baseman Troy Glaus lifting his club to a similar 5-3 win on Tuesday with a huge two-run double.
Glaus is 3-for-7 with three RBIs and just one strikeout in two games against the Astros after getting off to a horrific 4-for-21 start with six strikeouts in his first six games with the Cardinals.
"It was down, a strike, but it was down," Glaus told the Cardinals' official Web site. "I just stayed on it and didn't foul it off. Three or four days ago, it might have been a roller past (third-base coach Jose) Oquendo. Today it was a better swing and a better result."
