Wainwright helps self out with single, run

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).

Cardinals tack on another run in the third inning

The Cardinals added to their already substantial lead in the bottom of the third to make it a 5-0 game.
