Ausmus caps grand slam in 12th to beat Cardinals
Brad Ausmus hit a first inning grand slam and a 12th inning solo shot to lift the Houston Astros past the St. Louis Cardinals 6-5. Ausmus also escaped a potential 3-2 steal by throwing out Fernando Vina as Brad Lidge closed it after two runners reached in the 12th. Jim Edmonds went 4-for-4 with two homers and a double for St. Louis, who dropped their first loss after a five-run deficit.

White Sox win home opener 5 2 at new park
Esteban Loaiza pitched six strong innings and Joe Crede homered as the Chicago White Sox defeated the Detroit Tigers 5-2 in the season debut at the renamed Comiskey Park now U.S. Cellular Field. The win halted a 0-3 start, froze by a two hour rain delay, and matched Detroit’s early scoring despite a frigid 37 degree opener.
