BALTIMORE • Cardinals starting pitcher Adam Wainwright already had reviewed video at least twice of every hitter he faced Saturday, got his usual postgame treatment, and spent time looking at himself in the mirror in the weight room. He pantomimed mechanics, trying to “iron out” a flaw he felt, and did that over and over and over. And still the game was not finished.
The shortest start of a career leaves a lot of time to kill.
The veteran righthander did not mince words about his role in the Cardinals’ 15-7 loss Saturday to Baltimore at Camden Yards.
