    Cardinals Morris makes season debut

    St. Louis (7-4) at Pittsburgh (4-9), 6:05 p.m. CT

    PITTSBURGH -- St. Louis goes for a sweep of a short two-game series on Tuesday night.
    Right-hander Matt Morris will make his first start of the year. He is coming back from two Minor League rehab starts after undergoing offseason surgery on his right shoulder.

    Morris has been very tough at PNC Park over the years, sporting a 4-0 record.

    The Cardinals erupted for nine runs in the ninth inning of Monday night's game and are hoping that will jump-start their offense.

    Pitching matchup:
    STL: RHP Matt Morris
    • 0-0, 0.00 ERA in 2005
    • 2-0, 4.71 ERA in 2004 vs PIT

    PIT: RHP Josh Fogg
    • 1-0, 2.03 ERA in 2005
    • 0-1, 6.00 ERA vs STL in 2004

    Players to watch: So Taguchi, who collected three hits and three RBIs in Monday night's 11-1 victory over Pittsburgh.

    Quotable: "Injuries have hurt us some this year, but we haven't put a lineup out yet that couldn't win. I think we've been hit by injuries less than some clubs. Losing Cal Eldred was a real tough break, but nothing that we're not deep enough to cover. -- Cardinals manager Tony La Russa

    Gotta get this one tonight. Hopefully Morris will come out sharp, but Foggy can come out sharper.

    Can't wish injuries on non-Cubs.
