PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. —Adam Wainwright became the first Cardinals to work three innings this spring when he did so against the New York Mets on Friday. Although Wainwright allowed some hard contact, he permitted just one run on four singles.
First baseman Paul Goldschmidt’s first hit of the spring in four at-bats was an opposite-field home run off New York’s Marcus Stroman in the first inning. Goldschmidt had been nothing for three with three walks.
The game went to the fourth tied at 1-1.
REYES CUT BACK TO ONE INNING
Alex Reyes, who was thought to be on a starters’ program when spring training began, is slated to work just one inning of relief Friday when the Cardinals play the New York Mets in an exhibition game here.
