"And Hague's homer in this game and Simmons's in the first game with Atlanta wouldn't have been homers in St. Louis," he added. By splitting the series, the Cardinals now have won two of their last three games. Moreover, they lifted their season record to 3-7 and thus missed a shot at matching the 2-11 start by the 1947 Cardinals.

That was the worst beginning by a Redbird team in a long, long time. FROM PAGE ONE singled before Joe Hague slugged his first home run of the season. Hague's blast came off lefthander Steve Barber.

After that, Wise starved the Braves on one hit over the last four innings.
