"That's a Winner!" - 4

Two dingers and seven RBI for Pujols. Seventeen other hits for the Cardinals. Pretty impressive day for the Cardinal bats. Pretty darn impressive. Can't wait to see the video of Alber's 1st homer again! Man-sized!

Wainwright still concerns me though. His first 3 innings were pretty dreadful. Sure, he did a good job of limiting the damage, but 79 pitches through the first 3 innings is pretty dreadful and it puts an awful strain on the bullpen. He was much better in the 4th and 5th, however, and I am hopeful that Wainwright will find his stride soon and have many more 10 or fewer pitch innings and far fewer 20+ pitch innings.
