Edmonds Dominates Astros In 5-1 Cardinals Win
Jim Edmonds went 3-for-4 with a two run homer to lift the St. Louis Cardinals past the Houston Astros 5-1 in the season's first NL Central clash. Edmonds improved to 5-for-10 with three homers and seven RBIs against lefty Mikki Mlicki and has strong career numbers versus Houston. He credited Houston's field as a good place to hit and noted the matchup's recurring success. La Russa credited Edmonds's 2001 form and consistency above .300 as a key. The Astros, who won the division a year earlier, totaled 93-69 in head-to-heads with St. Louis.
