Cards rake Stros

The Redbirds teed off on Tim Redding, Mike Gallo, Chad Harville, and Ricky Stone as they rolled to a 10-4 victory at Busch Stadium on Saturday night.

Lance Berkman -- whose Bondsian hitting over the past month has been largely wasted because the rest of the Stros' hitters have slid into mediocrity -- was the Stros' lone bright spot as he rebounded from his hitless Friday night game to drive in all four Stros runs.

The season is only a third old and things can change over the course of a long season, but -- at this point -- the Stros don't look particularly competitive against this Cardinal team. Since May 12, the Stros are a rather pathetic 8-14 and beyond Berkman, Clemens, and Oswalt, no player has performed at a consistently above-average level over those 22 games.

Roy O is the Stros' last hope to salvage a game in St. Louis on Sunday afternoon. Jeff Suppan starts for the Cards.
