The racket was coming from the bedroom window of his St. Louis residence and when he twisted open the blinds, this mystery to explore, he found the culprit tapping, tapping. Marmol recognized the feathered friend from his jersey. A cardinal had come calling. Not one to seek signs that foretell of success or read too much into what was outside his window, Marmol could do both Thursday evening by what he saw inside a box score. The Cardinals’ opened their 131st season in the National League — Marmol’s first as manager — with a 9-0 romp at Busch Stadium against Pittsburgh. Adam Wainwright claimed his 100th career win at the downtown ballpark with six scoreless innings. Paul Goldschmidt set a club record with four walks on opening day.
