Forget about how bad this season was. Yes, the Cardinals finished 71-91 and put together their worst season since 1995. But today was all about Adam Wainwright.
Firstly, Jordan Walker had three hits and helped guide the Cardinals to a season-ending 4-3 win over the Reds, who they had eliminated from postseason contention the night before.
The game did not start well, as former Cardinal farmhand Nick Martini hit a leadoff home run to put the Reds up 1-0. Irving Lopez picked up his first career RBI with a sac fly to tie the game. After Elly De La Cruz put the Reds back in front, Walker tied things up with an RBI double and scored on Luken Baker’s double.
