Wainwright, Grichuk leads Cardinals past Giants

In Sunday’s throwback pitching matchup featuring two former aces, the Cardinals came out on top.

Adam Wainwright outpitched Matt Cain, who the Cardinals roughed up for seven runs en route to a 8-3 win in Sunday’s series finale with the San Francisco Giants. Wainwright and Cain have combined for 242 career wins, including Wainwright’s win Sunday.

The Cardinals were hot coming out of the gate on Sunday with two painful losses Friday and Saturday looming over them. In the second inning, the Cardinals loaded the bases with nobody out for right fielder Randal Grichuk — Jhonny Peralta and Tommy Pham both singled, while Aledmys Diaz walked.
