Kyle Lohse (1-0) gave one of his great starts yesterday against the Nationals (1-4) and the Cardinals (5-1) reaped all the benefits.
Lohse, who has the consonants at the end of his name pronounced in the reverse order in which they’re spelled, pitched 7 scoreless innings while scattering 4 hits and a walk. Jason Isringhausen (S 3) picked up his third save.
Rick Ankiel was the offensive hero again. The fade he faced last year after the HGH revelation has all but, well, faded. He clubbed his third home run, a solo shot, and also drove in another, to provide St. Louis with more than they’d need.
The Cardinals will take their shiny new best record in the M. L. B. to Houston for the Astros’ home-opener. Todd Wellemeyer (1-0) and Wandy Rodriguez (0-0) are the pitchers at 6:05pm CDT.
