A three-run homer by Darrell Porter highlighted a five-run first inning that propelled the Cardinals to a 14-3 rout of the Astros in the season opener for both teams. Porter's blast off Nolan Ryan followed a hit batsman and a base on balls. The Redbirds added two more markers later in the frame on Steve Braun's run-scoring single and an RBI groundout by Ozzie Smith.
