Glaus Lifts Cardinals Past Astros with First Homer
Troy Glaus homered for the first time with St. Louis, joining Albert Pujols for a 5-1 win over Houston. Glaus, returning from pink eye, later tipped his cap to fans after a two-RBI shot as the Cardinals built a four-run fifth. Kyle Lohse earned the win, McClellan closed with three perfect innings for the save, and Pujols added his fifth homer. The benches cleared briefly after a near-mick pitch, but no punches were thrown.
