ST. LOUIS (AP) — No Clydesdale or convertibles. No success, either for the St. Louis Cardinals in their rescheduled home opener.
Third baseman Troy Glaus' throwing error allowed the tying run to score and Jayson Nix walked with the bases loaded in a two-run eighth inning, helping the Colorado Rockies begin the defense of their NL championship with a 2-1 victory on Tuesday night.
Cardinals castoff Kip Wells pitched into the sixth in his second career opening-day start, Clay Buchholz (1-0) pitched a scoreless seventh and Manny Corpas pitched a perfect ninth for the save.
Colorado won 14 of its final 15 regular-season games to become the NL wild card, then won seven straight in the postseason for its first NL pennant before being swept by Boston in the World Series.
