DENVER • That feel and rhythm and consistent run of success that Cardinals starter Adam Wainwright has spent most of the season seeking on the mound, he’s had the plate.
On a career night that knotted the wild-card race, Adam Wainwright launched his RBI total ahead of any other pitcher to swing a bat since the designated hitter took half of the opportunities away, the Cardinals starter contributed to the steady drumbeat of scoring necessary to win at Coors Field. Wainwright drove in as many runs as he allowed (four) and lifted the Cardinals to a 10-5 victory against the Colorado Rockies.
