The Cardinals knocked out Doug Konieczny during a four-run outburst in the third inning and breezed to an 8-2 victory over the Astros. Johnny Edwards homered off Sonny Siebert for the Astros' pair in the second, but the Cards picked up a run in their half before loading the bases in the third when Ted Sizemore and Reggie Smith singled and Tim McCarver was hit by a pitch.
