Phillies display the power in a 4-1 win, ruining the Astros' opening of their new stadium.

Playing outdoor baseball in Houston for the 1st time since 1964, its a pair of HRs by Philadelphia, from Scott Rolen and Ron Gant that steal the show. Rolen's solo shot in the 7th is the first run scored, and Rico Brogna follows with a double and later scores on Mickey Morandini's Sac Fly.

Houston gets its first dinger on a solo shot by Richard Hidalgo in the bottom of the 7th, but Gant's 2-run shot in the 8th pads the Phillies' lead.

Starting pitchers:
Phillies - Randy Wolf
Astros - Octavio Dotel

Winning pitcher: Wolf (1-0)
Losing pitcher: Dotel (0-1)
