Cardinals righthander Adam Wainwright, making his 252nd start with Yadier Molina and who signed a five-year, $97.5 million deal the same year Bailey did in 2014, induced Hunter Dozier to rap into a double play with the bases loaded to escape the first inning scoreless. Then, the Cardinals flailed away at their human punching bag, knocking out Bailey in the second after he had allowed homers by Marcell Ozuna and Matt Carpenter en route to an end-of-the-day refresher, a 10-3 victory.
Bailey walked Carpenter and allowed a lined single by Paul Goldschmidt to start the Cardinals’ first. Paul DeJong flied to center but Ozuna, who had faced Bailey mostly as a Miami Marlin, worked a 12-pitch at-bat in which he screamed two fouls, one of potential double variety, and another which landed in the third deck.
