The Redbirds played their second game of a four-game set in the Great American Launching Pad, looking to get Adam Wainwright win 197 against Graham Ashcraft. Wainwright had a rough outing, surrendering five runs on eight hits and one walk in five and two-thirds innings. However, Ashcraft’s night went worse, as he gave up two home runs to Paul Goldschmidt en route to seven earned runs over five innings. The Cards’ bullpen would hold the Reds scoreless the rest of the game as St. Louis took game two of the series 8-5 and brought Wainwright one win closer to 200.
