THE BAIT/
Astros sweep Cardinals,
extend lead in NL Centra
By Micael A. Lutz
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
HOUSTON — The Houston Astros just about
ended the playoff chances of the Cardinals.
Tim Redding combined with three relievers on a
three-hitter and Craig Biggio drove in three runs as
the Astros beat St. Louis 4-1 Sunday to complete a
big three-game sweep.
Houston boosted its lead to two games over the
Chicago Cubs and dropped the third-place
Cardinals 5 1/2 games back with two weeks left in
the regular season. The Astros and Cardinals play
three more times in St. Louis next weekend.
“You can’t start talking
about scenarios,” Cardinals
catcher Mike Matheny
said. “We’re not going to
give up. The guys in here
believe in each other, and
that’s what’s gotten us this
far, and it’s going to contin
ue to get us through the rest
of this season.”
It was the first sweep
over the Cardinals for the
Astros since a three-giune
series in April 1997.
“We came down here thinking we prettym.
had to win two out of three,” the Cardinals’ Ke
Robinson said. “That’s our approach to every sen
but it just didn’t happen.”
Redding (9-14) allowed one run and three hit
six innings. He had been 0-5 in six starts since ha
ing Florida on Aug. 1. The Astros scored an avea
of 1.6 runs in those losses.
Brad Lidge, Octavio Dotel and Billy Wat

“You have to put them away, and we did in this
series. It was a great series for us.”
St. Louis has lost four straight overall, dropping
to just two games over .500 at 76-74.
“Obviously, it’s going to be tough,” Tino
Martinez said. “But we’re not out of it yet. We’ve

Arkansas whips up on Texas in upset
By Jaime Aron
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) —
The Texas Longhorns woke up
Sunday with a strange feeling.
For the first time since most of
them pulled on a burnt orange
jersey, they faced the morning-
after regrets of a home loss.
Texas was upset 38-28
Saturday by former nemesis
Arkansas, ending a run of 20
straight wins at Royal
Memorial Stadium. It had been
the second-longest active
streak in the country and goes
down as the third-longest in
school history, one shy of sec
ond place.
Kansas State was the last
visiting team to win in Austin,
doing so in October 1999 when
fifth-year senior Bo Scaife was
a true freshman. He’s the only
player who played in both loss
es; seven other current players
redshirted that season.
“This is very weird,” said
receiver B.J. Johnson, a high
school senior the last time it
happened. “I don’t know how
to handle this.”
Actually, the Longhorns (1-
1) had nearly four quarters to
prepare for it. They led only
after their first drive, and not
for very long as the Razorbacks
(2-0) answered with a touch
down. They scored again on
their next possession and led
by at least a touchdown the rest
of the way.
During the home winning
streak, no team had scored
more than 20 points. Arkansas
had 21 at halftime. The
Razorbacks finished with the
most points by a visitor since
October 1997 and became the
first unranked foe to win in
Austin since Texas Tech in
November 1997.
Arkansas had only one
three-and-out possession, that
coming on its first drive of the
second half. The Razorbacks
had a 46-yard touchdown run
and a 60-yarder that set up the
game-sealing field goal. They
forced three fumbles, scoring
off the first two while the third
ruined a Texas drive that had
reached the Arkansas 10.
The Longhorns averaged
only 2.1 yards on 29 rushes. Of
their four touchdowns, one
