A lot of good it did. The singles machine that has been the Cardinals lately churned out only three singles to go with a double by Nolan Arenado. That was the extent of the Cardinals’ attack in a 6-2 loss to the light-hitting Arizona Diamondbacks before a paid house of 40,753 at Busch Stadium. Arizona had been so punchless entering the game that it had by far the lowest team batting average in the majors, .178. This renders it almost inexcusable that the Cardinals walked six of them, five in six innings by normal control artist Adam Wainwright. No, not ALMOST inexcusable. The adverb wasn’t necessary. “It’s tough to get beat,” said Wainwright (2-3). “But it’s tougher when you beat yourself. And that’s what I did. “They’ve got some scrappy guys over there but I don’t think they score today without me giving all those free passes. The game’s about execution and tonight I didn’t execute like I needed to. I didn’t execute like a big-league pitcher should. And that’s why we lost the game. There’s no excuse for it. There’s no rhyme or reason for it.” Four of those walks — three by Wainwright — were tied to four of the runs scored by Arizona.“All those walks scoring — that’s what got us,” Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said. “We didn’t make them earn it today.” [/QUOTE]
