It was a peculiar night at Busch Stadium on Monday, as Cardinals legend Adam Wainwright returned to mound and got through five innings (good!), but allowed four runs in the first three (yikes!), but bounced back (good!), which gives hope but, man, there sure were a bunch of barreled balls in the third (scary!).
The answer, it appears, is he was at least good enough. Manager Mike Shildt said Wainwright will get another start — and probably in the pivotal upcoming Dodgers series. No. 50 did just enough to buy himself another start. But is what we have here a pick-their-poison?
