The Stros completed a 5-1 road trip this afternoon by plastering the Cards 11-1 to sweep the series from the Redbirds. Berkman and Bags each had three run dingers, and Biggio also had three RBI’s. Despite walking seven and throwing only 60 of his 121 pitches for strikes, Wade Miller somehow shut out the Cards over 7 innings to notch the win.
The Stros are now 6-3, and are returning to Minute Maid Park for a four game set with the Brew Crew over the weekend, and a three game series with the Cardinals beginning next Tuesday. Tim Redding will be on the hill for the ‘Stros in the homestand opener Thursday night.
