The Gas House Gang

Albert Pujols doubled home two runs in the bottom of the eighth that ended up being the difference in the Cardinals 5-2 win over the Reds.  Scott Rolen scored two runs and Chris Duncan had two hits and one run in the win.

Braden Looper gave up just one run in seven innings of work but the Cards scored their runs too late for him to get the win.  Randy Flores gave up one run in 1 1/3 innings but he picked up the win and Jason Isringhausen saved it by getting the final batter out in the ninth.

The Cardinals still sit two games below .500 so they have a ways to go.  Randy Keisler will get the start tomorrow in the rubber game and hopefully the Cardinals can take this one and win their second straight series.
