ST. LOUIS — This time, the San Francisco Giants saw the real Michael Wacha.
The St. Louis Cardinals right-hander insisted last year's NL championship series failure was absolutely not on his mind preparing to face the Giants for the first time this season.
"I mean, everyone seems to make it out like I was going out for vengeance or something, like I was after these guys since Day 1," Wacha said after working seven dominant innings in the Cardinals' 2-1 victory on Monday night.
"Everyone tries to amp it up and make a story out of it, but I was just trying to approach it just like another game.
