MIAMI • The Cardinals opened up a 5-0 lead on the Marlins' best pitcher, and still Miami is starting to threaten with the same kind of comeback the Cardinals had a day ago in New York.
Miami has chased Michael Wacha from the start with with a three-run burst in the sixth inning, and an added run against reliever Jonathan Broxton has the Cardinals clinging to a one-run lead. Broxton got out of the seventh inning with the lead, turning it over to Kevin Siegrist for the eighth inning.
The Cardinals are leaning on their formula to hold the win.
