Walker's three homers pace Rockies past Cardinals in Busch Stadium
Larry Walker went 4-for-5 with three homers and eight RBIs, tying a team record as Colorado beat St Louis 9-7 at Busch Stadium. He dismissed comparisons to Mark McGwire, saying he’s Larry, not Mark, and later grounded out in the ninth with a chance to tie the major league mark. The win followed strong performances from Piazza, Park, Trachsel, and Glavine in a day of scattered MLB results.
