Louis Cardinals' rotation appears to be succeeding
Looper allowed four hits in four 2-3 scoreless innings Monday, a 3-1 victory over the Atlanta Braves.
"I'm pretty happy right now," Looper said. "I've given up a few hits but I'll take base hits like that. It's not like balls are flying out of the ballpark, knock on wood."
His only professional regular-season start was in rookie ball in 1997. Looper has allowed only one earned run in 11 innings over three spring training starts with only one walk.
"Today was probably the worst I've felt," he said "it's pitching, I guess; I haven't done it a whole lot in my career, but it felt good to stretch it out."
Braves starter John Smoltz needed only 46 pitches to get through four innings and allowed one hit. He threw changeups past Albert
Puigls and Scott Rolen for called third strikes to end the first inning — Smoltz said he threw about 15 changeups.
"That's a pitch nobody saw me throw a lot," Smoltz said.
"Watch out, Glavine and Maddux," he added, referring to former teammates Tom Glavine and Greg Maddux.
Atlanta's Chipper Jones sprained his left ankle on a groundout to first in the first inning, limping off the field after taking only a few steps out of the batter's box. Jones said he was taken out of the game as a precaution.
Rick Ankiel, the former pitcher trying to make it back to the majors as an outfielder, homered off Tyler Yates in the sixth. It was the first homer for St. Louis in 10 games at home, counting an exhibition against Florida Atlantic.
