The Cards beat the Astros 5-3 on Tuesday evening. Reggie Sanders and Albert Pujols homered for the Cards, and Sanders made a nifty catch in right field that robbed Bags of a homer. Wade Miller pitched O.K. for the ‘Stros, giving up five runs on five hits (one walk) in six innings, but his relief help let in two of those runs the inning that he came out. Tim Redding faces Cards’ ace Matt Morris in game two of the series on Wednesday night at 6:05 p.m. at Minute Maid Park.

Was it the relief help that let in two runs, OR JOSE VISCAINO??
Jimy Williams does not allow criticism of Vizcaino, who is one of the overpaid and underproductive veteran players (see also Brad Ausmus)that the ‘Stros inexplicably keep around, probably only to placate Williams.
