There is nothing quite like Opening Day at Busch Stadium and St. Louis Cardinals fans. It was also the return of Adam Wainwright to the mound after spending the beginning of the season on the DL due to a hamstring issue. Wainwright convinced manager Mike Matheny to take the mound for yesterday’s game. The stage was set for a Redbird winner, but that didn’t phase the Arizona Diamondbacks yesterday as they played spoiler to the party 3-1.
The game was very much a tale of two different pitchers in the beginning of the game.
