ST. LOUIS — Right-hander Adam Wainwright will attempt to
pitch himself into postseason form while at the same time helping the St. Louis
Cardinals take another step toward the playoffs when he goes against the San
Francisco Giants on Saturday afternoon.The Cardinals (85-69) got a
tie-breaking Bob
Gibson Jersey , two-run double from pinch-hitter Matt Adams in the
eighth inning Friday night to win the series opener from the Giants 5-3 and
retain a 1 1/2-game lead over the Colorado Rockies (83-70) in the duel for the
second wild-card playoff spot in the National League.Wainwright (2-3, 3.72) has
started twice since returning from a nearly four-month absence due to elbow and
hamstring issues, having shown significant progress from his first start to his
second.Article continues below ...After allowing four runs and seven hits in
five innings in his comeback effort against Pittsburgh on Sept. 10, Wainwright
was brilliant in a 5-0 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers six days later, throwing
six innings of two-hit, shutout ball.Wainwright hasn’t seen the Giants since
last season, when he limited them to five hits and one run over 6 1/3 innings in
an 8-3 win in May.He’s 6-7 with a 3.15 ERA against San Francisco in 15 lifetime
meetings, 13 as a starter.If fully up to speed, the 37-year-old could be a
veteran anchor to the Cardinals’ postseason hopes. He’s made 12 playoff starts
in his career.The Cardinals needed 6 1/3 innings of work from five relievers in
Friday’s series-opening win. Dakota Hudson and John Brebbia were equally perfect
in their performances, each striking out all three batters he saw.Up by two
runs, new closer Carlos Martinez got the job done in the ninth after allowing a
leadoff double. He was rewarded with his fourth save.The Giants, who have been
out of the NL postseason chase for more than a month http://www.stlouiscardinalsteamshop.com/authentic-willie-mcgee-jersey ,
will send rookie standout Dereck Rodriguez (6-4, 2.30) to the mound in a spoiler
role.Rodriguez gets an opportunity to gain ground on Cardinals right-hander Jack
Flaherty in the battle for most wins among NL rookies.Flaherty, who isn’t
scheduled to pitch in this series, currently is tied with San Diego’s Joey
Lucchesi with eight wins.Rodriguez is slated to make just two more starts, and
would need to win both to possibly catch Flaherty and Lucchesi.The 26-year-old
has no catching up to do in the duel for ERA lead among rookie starters, with
Rodriguez’s 2.30 being far and away the best.Rodriguez pitched well, but did not
get a decision, in a 3-2 home win over the Cardinals in July. He went 6 2/3
innings, allowing two runs and five hits.Kolten Wong had two of the hits — a
double and a triple.Wong also played a role in Friday’s win, singling in a run
in the fifth inning to break a 1-1 tie before adding another RBI single in the
sixth to increase the St. Louis lead to 3-1.The Giants eventually rallied into a
3-3 tie before Adams, pinch-hitting with two on and two outs in the eighth
inning, went the opposite way on San Francisco left-hander Tony Watson for a
two-run double that provided the margin of victory.The Cardinals have won three
of five from the Giants this season. NEW YORK — On Thursday afternoon Mike
Matheny Jersey , New York Mets pitcher Corey Oswalt had his exit
interview with manager Mickey Callaway and the coaching staff. But he’ll get one
more opportunity to impress his bosses Friday night, when Oswalt will look to
end an interesting rookie campaign on a high note as he takes the mound for the
Mets in the opener of a season-ending three-game series against the Miami
Marlins at Citi Field.Oswalt (3-3, 6.08 ERA) is scheduled to oppose the Marlins’
Jose Urena (8-12, 4.07 ERA) in a battle of right-handers.The Mets won the rubber
game of a three-game series with the Atlanta Braves Thursday, when Jason Vargas
tossed seven scoreless innings in a 4-1 victory. The Marlins were off Thursday
following a 9-3 loss Wednesday to the Washington Nationals, who swept the
three-game set.Article continues below ...Oswalt will be making his 17th
appearance and 12th start in a season in which he’s made six different trips to
the majors. He is finishing the season in the rotation in place of Zack Wheeler,
who was shut down due to innings earlier this month. This will be the fourth
straight start for Oswalt, who took the loss last Saturday after allowing two
runs over five innings as the Mets fell to the Nationals, 6-0.While Oswalt has
fared far better as a starter (4.91 ERA) than a reliever (12.54 ERA), Callaway
has been impressed with his ability to adapt to an unfamiliar role. The Mets
(75-84) have five starters under contractual control, so it is likely Oswalt,
who made just six relief appearances in 97 minor league games http://www.stlouiscardinalsteamshop.com/authentic-red-schoendienst-jersey ,
will once again fill a swi jhby
