Astros Lose to Cardinals, 7-5
St. Louis Cardinals starter Tom Candiotti was in a groove as he led his team to a win over the Houston Astros, 7-5. Candiotti went 7.2 innings to notch the win. He scattered 6 hits, walked 1, and struck out 3. His record improves to 1-0. The Astros drop to 6-13 and continue their inconsistent start to the 1982 season.

St. Louis took a 7-3 lead on Mark Hildebrand's 1st home run of the season. The 2-run home run came off Houston pitcher Luis Aponte in the bottom of the eighth.

"We cashed in when we had the chance," said St. Louis manager Nathan Hall.
