ST. LOUIS - Ryan Howard still gets psyched up to play in St. Louis.
The Philadelphia first baseman homered and Aaron Nola threw seven innings to lead the Phillies to a 1-0 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Tuesday night.
Philadelphia has won seven of eight while St. Louis has lost five of six.
Howard, a St. Louis native, has 12 homers and 40 RBIs in 36 games in Busch Stadium.
“This is home, this is where it all began for me,” Howard said. “I guess, being at home, I do feel I see the ball a lot better.
