MLB : 2* STL
Larry Walker got what was probably his 1st and only ovation for a strike out yesterday in his Busch Stadium debut. The Cardinals outfield now features Reggie Sanders in LF, Jim Edmonds in CF and Walker in right. The acquisition of Walker juices an already stout Cardinals lineup that includes Scott Rolen and a guy named Pujols.
STL has won 4 straight and 10 of their last 12. They are 15-8 against LHP, 23-16 during the day and 24-6 in the 2nd half. They are 1 game up on the Yanks for the best record in MLB. Jason Marquis is 8-0 in 14 starts since May 8th; the former Brave has given up 3 runs or less in 9 of the 14 starts.
The Mets are 2-11 with Al Leiter on the road on Sundays the last 3 years. NY is now 10 games back of Atlanta in the East. They have also lost 2 straight games and 10 of their last 15.
