Adam Wainwright had a strong outing and Pete Kozma had 2 base hits as the St.
Louis Cardinals defeated the Los Angeles(NL) Dodgers 3 to 2 at Busch
Stadium.
 
The game was won by St. Louis when they scored a run in the bottom of the 8th
inning.  Carlos Beltran doubled.  Matt Holliday got his turn next, but he was
a strikeout victim.  Yadier Molina then doubled.  Los Angeles(NL) tried
unsuccessfully to come back in the 9th.  
 
The winning pitcher was Trevor Rosenthal(1-0) who allowed no runs in 1 inning.
Edward Mujica recorded the save, his 1st.  Paco Rodriguez(0-1) took the loss
in relief.  He pitched 1 inning allowing 2 hits and no walks.
 
'Anytime you lose it hurts,' said Don Mattingly 'but it's losing the close
ones that really hurt.'
