JUPITER, Fla. — The Cardinals' spring training schedule wound down a little sooner than expected Thursday but at least the club left a good impression.
Adam Wainwright pitched scoreless ball for five innings, allowing just two hits, walking no one and striking out three in throwing 73 pitches.
Miami righthander Jose Urena worked five scoreless innings, permitting just one hit. But the Cardinals jumped his relief, Josh A. Smith, for three runs in the sixth inning and held that to the end for a 3-0 win, giving them a mark of 10-9-2 for a 21-game spring slate, nine short of the 30 they were supposed to play.
