ATLANTA — There is a saying that dates back to the Braves days in Boston when their rotation was so top heavy that fans could count on Warren Spahn, Johnny Sain, and hope for rain. The Cardinals, trying to claw their way out of June’s swamp and regain stability from their rotation, could coin a similar rhyme.
When rain gives you a doubleheader, Waino reigns.
A deluge of runs also helps.
Adam Wainwright authored his second complete game of the season and carried the Cardinals to a 9-1 victory Sunday against Atlanta in the first half of a Father’s Day split doubleheader.
