Wainwright, Pujols Lead Cardinals to Sweep
Another stellar outing from the 6'7" right-hander, Adam Wainwright, lead his team to victory yet again. Wainwright's success in Miller Park continued Wednesday afternoon, tossing 7 scoreless innings, striking out 6, while only walking 1. Of the 7 innings, four of them were 1-2-3 innings.
At Miller Park this season, Wainwright has been nearly unhittable. His 22.1 innings pitched allowed him to obtain 3 wins, strike out 24, and have an astounding ERA of 0.40. The Brew Crew has only managed to hit .207 against Wainwright at home, which is better than the .176 average they have against him this season.
Wainwright earned improved to 18-7 on the season and surpassed the 200 innings pitched mark with his performance Wednesday, only the second time in his career he's tossed as many innings.
Slugger Albert Pujols continued his red-hot pace in Milwaukee, blasting a pair of homers. His 46th and 47th of the season left the field to center and left, respectively.
Pujols raked in 6 RBIs in three games, pounding three bombs, and managing to go only a mere 7-12 in the series. Those RBIs elevated him to 124 on the season, one shy of Milwaukee's, Prince Fielder.
It's highly unlikely Pujols will win the Triple Crown this year with his batting average (.331) 26 points behind Hanley Ramirez (.357). His 47 longballs leads the NL and will be in a race for the RBI crown with Fielder and Philly's Ryan Howard.
Counting Fat Albert out right now isn't the smartest thing to do, because proving people wrong by his play is what Pujols lives for. I'd hate to be the one who wrote that Albert Pujols wouldn't be able to catch Hanlay Ramirez in batting average and have him beat him by a point and win the Triple Crown.
St. Louis moved 27 games over .500 and improved to 84-57. The magic number has shrunk to 12, inching the Cardinals that much closer to clinching a division title.
