Glaus' hit, off former Phillies reliever Geoff Geary (0-1), bounced off the lower portion of the bullpen wall in right-center field and scored Chris Duncan and Albert Pujols.
Anthony Reyes (1-0) pitched three scoreless innings of one-hit ball, and Jason Isringhausen worked a perfect ninth for his fourth save.
Duncan scored on a single by Adam Kennedy in the sixth inning to tie it at 3. The Cardinals had a chance to take the lead later in the inning but Mark Loretta's throw home beat Rick Ankiel there to end the inning.
Houston's Miguel Tejada had a two-run double in the third to make it 2-all. Lance Berkman scored easily, but Carlos Lee slid feet first and knocked down catcher Jason LaRue to get home safely.
Astros starter Shawn Chacon allowed four hits and three runs. He struck out two and walked four in six innings. Rule 5 draftee Wesley Wright struck out two in a perfect seventh for Houston.
Houston had just two hits after the fourth inning, a triple by Hunter Pence in the seventh and a double by Geoff Blum in the eighth.

ROCKIES 4, BRAVES 3
DENVER - Ubaldo Jimenez overcame a shaky outing, and Matt Holliday hit two run-scoring singles as Colorado topped Atlanta.
Each of the Braves' five losses so far have come by one run. The Rockies have won three games so far, each by a run.
The Rockies still haven't busted out of their offensive funk, but they finally topped the three-run mark in a game. Coming in, they had scored just 12 times in their first seven games.
Jimenez (1-1) walked Braves pitcher Jair Jurrjens (1-1) twice and allowed Mark Kotsay's two-run homer, but escaped with a victory.
