ST. LOUIS (AP) _ Yadier Molina homered twice and Adam Wainwright threw seven
shutout innings to lead the St. Louis Cardinals to a 5-0 win over the Chicago
Cubs on Sunday.
Matt Carpenter also homered for St. Louis, which won for the eighth time in
nine games. Chicago has lost three of four.
Molina recorded the third multi-homer game of his career. His last came on Aug.
21, 2011 at Wrigley Field. He drilled a two-run homer off Jake Arrieta (4-3) in
the second inning and added a solo blast in the eighth.
Wainwright (3-3) allowed four hits in a 102-pitch stint. He struck out three
and walked four.
Carpenter’s two-run drive came in the third. He was 1-for-31 before the
round-tripper against Arrieta, his friend and college teammate at TCU.
St. Louis has Monday night off before beginning a series at home against
Boston Tuesday night.
