ST. LOUIS (AP) _ Adam Wainwright hit a two-run homer off Brandon McCarthy and
pitched six innings of four-hit ball, leading the St. Louis Cardinals over the
Los Angeles Dodgers 2-0 on Thursday for a four-game split.

Wainwright (6-3) struck out six and walked two, pitching out of two-on, one-out
jams in the fourth and fifth, and extending his scoreless streak to 16 1/3
innings. Matt Bowman, Trevor Rosenthal and Seung Hwan Oh pitched an inning each
to complete a five-hitter. Oh threw a one-hit ninth for his 13th save in 15
chances.

Wainwright followed Paul Dejong’s second-inning single with a drive over the
left-field bullpen for his 10th career homer. Wainwright has six hits and seven
RBIs this season.

McCarthy (5-2) gave up seven hits in four innings, struck out six and walked
one.

St. Louis will begin a weekend series in Chicago Friday afternoon. Lance Lynn (4-3)
starts for the Cardinals while the Cubs send John Lackey (4-5) to the hill. Game
time is 1:20 with the pre-game at 12:25 on KTLO-AM.
