JUPITER, Fla. • Continuing the Cardinals’ run of strong starting pitching this spring, Adam Wainwright spun three scoreless frames here Tuesday as the Cardinals raised their exhibition record to 8-3-1 with a 9-2 win over the Miami Marlins.
Wainwright fanned two and allowed three hits, helped by left fielder Jose Martinez throwing out a runner at second base in the first inning.
Jhonny Peralta tripled in one run and scored on an error in the third and then doubled home another run in the fourth. Patrick Wisdom clouted his third homer in the last four games and Breyvic Valera singled in two runs in a four-run eighth.
