So far in Thursday's nightcap, Cardinals starter Adam Wainwright has performed well both on the mound and at the plate.
Wainwright led off the bottom of the fourth inning with a single up the middle, eventually coming around to score on Stephen Piscotty's RBI fielder's choice. The play increased the Cardinals' lead to 6-0.
Wainwright's hit was his fourth of the season and his run was his third of 2017. He is batting .455 at the plate so far (4-for-9).
