NEW YORK -- Adam Wainwright won in a rare matchup of pitchers in their 40s as his St. Louis Cardinals blanked Rich Hill's New York Mets 7-0 on Monday night.
The 40-year-old Wainwright, a thorn in the Mets' side since he saved Game 7 of the 2006 National League Championship Series by freezing Carlos Beltran with a curveball to escape a bases-loaded jam, allowed four hits in six innings. He walked three and struck out four.
The 41-year-old Hill allowed three runs and six hits in five innings, walking two and striking out four.
