Adam Wainwright may have had a first in his long career of accomplishment when he teamed with 22-year-old rookie Ivan Herrera in a 9-0 win over the Miami Marlins Monday night at Busch Stadium.
Wainwright won a game without throwing to a catcher named Molina for one thing. “I’ve been playing catch to one guy for 17 years,” Wainwright said. “So he knows me pretty good.”
But he said he never had thrown to Herrera even in spring training, not even while warming up. So, the two spent some time together before the game.
“We went over stuff,” said Wainwright.
