ST. LOUIS (AP) - Former Glynn Academy pitcher Adam Wainwright (St. Simon's Island) came within an out of the St.
Louis Cardinals' second complete game during a three-game sweep of
the Chicago Cubs and Albert Pujols hit a first-inning homer that
knocked out the "I" on the Big Mac Land sign in left field in a
3-1 victory Thursday night.
Wainwright (4-2) allowed five hits in 8 2-3 innings, striking
out seven with one walk before Ryan Franklin got Milton Bradley to
line out with a man on for his 11th save in 12 chances. The Cubs
were limited to two runs in the series and have lost four in a row
for the second time this season, and also have dropped five of six
to the Cardinals.
Joel Pineiro threw a three-hitter in the series opener Tuesday
and Chris Carpenter worked five scoreless innings on Wednesday.
