St. Louis finds first win in new Busch Stadium
BY R.B. FALLSTROM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUIS -- Apparently, the new Busch Stadium is both a hitter's and pitcher's park. At least for Mark Mulder it is.
The Cardinals' left-hander threw eight strong innings and hit his first career home run to help the St. Louis beat the Milwaukee Brewers 6-4 Monday in the first major league game at the $365 million ballpark.
Scott Rolen's two-run double in the fourth off Tomo Ohka (0-1) gave the Cardinals the lead for good and Albert Pujols his fourth homer, a drive to the left-center power alley estimated at 445 feet.
Bill Hall's two-run homer in the second was the only damage off Mulder (1-0). Hall was 3-for-4 with a pair of doubles for Milwaukee, which has lost two straight after a 5-0 start that put the Brewers in first place in the NL Central.
The day began on a festive note, with Pujols and Chris Carpenter, the NL MVP and Cy Young Award winners, throwing out dual ceremonial first pitches to retired Cardinals greats Willie McGee and Bob Gibson. It stayed festive most of the day for a sellout crowd of 41,936.
Mulder allowed seven hits in eight innings, struck out five and walked one. He also was 2-for-3 with a double on a hop off the center field wall and a walk — coming in he had a .119 career average in 84 at-bats with four RBI.
BASKETBALL
His home run, a two-drive off Jose Capellan in the seventh, put the Cardinals ahead 6-2.
Mulder also started the final home opener at the old Busch Stadium last year in addition to pitching the final game at the 40-year-old park last fall in a Game 6 NLCS loss to the Houston Astros.
After Geoff Jenkins led off
with a bloop single in the ninth, Braden Looper came in and got Carlos Lee to ground into a double play. Hall then doubled and scored on a single by Rickie Weeks.
St. Louis then brought in Jason Isringhausen, who allowed Michael Barrett's go-ahead grand slam in an 8-4 loss to the Cubs at Wrigley Field on Sunday night. Isringhausen allowed Prince Fielder's RBI
Ohka gave up four runs, six hits and four walks in four innings.
single and walked pineh-hitter Corey Koskie before retiring Gabe Gross, another pinch hitter, on a ground out for his third save.
After the Cardinals left the bases loaded in the first and stranded two in the second, Pujols homered leading off the third and Yadier Molina hit a sacrifice fly later in the inning. Rolen's go-ahead homer gave him a team-high nine RBI — he had a career-low 28 last year, when a shoulder injury limited him to 56 games. ___
Notes - Lee singled in the second, the 14th time he reached base in 26 plate appearances. But he was hitless the rest of the way, finishing 1-for-4 with a pair of double-plays.

NATION Bomb squad called in for unattended bag
AUGUSTA, Ga. — Part of an airport terminal was evacuated for about two hours Monday and a bomb squad was called in after an unattended bag was spotted as fans and players from the Masters Golf Tournament headed out of town.
The baggage area inside the terminal at Augusta Regional Airport was cordoned off and passengers were evacuated from the area after an airport employee identified a suspicious bag on the sidewalk outside about 8 a.m., said Christopher White, a spokesman for the Transportation Security Administration.
The bag was considered suspicious because it was unattended, though authorities didn't immediately know what it contained, White said. No further details were released.
The bag was removed and normal airport operations resumed about 10:20 a.m., White said.
Some commercial flights were delayed for more than two hours because passengers were delayed in boarding; airport spokeswoman Diane Johnston did not know how many.
