With at least two innings to cover after Adam Wainwright’s savvy seven innings, they turned to lefty Genesis Cabrera. The only one of their late-game trio available for Sunday’s game, Cabrera covered the eighth, the ninth and then just kept going for one of the most compelling — and telling — relief performances of the year. Cabrera pitched four stout innings and doubled his season-high for pitches to carry the Cardinals to a 5-3 victory in 11 innings at Wrigley Field. Rookie Juan Yepez connected for an RBI single in the top of the 11th to score the runner gifted teams at second base in extra innings. Rookie Brendan Donovan widened the lead with his two-out RBI double. That gave Cabrera added cushion to work with when he came out, somewhat surprisingly, for the bottom of the 11th inning. He finished with five strikeouts and one run allowed through the four innings. It took the reliever 58 pitches. He earned the win. The Cardinals claimed the series, winning in extra innings the final two games of the four-day, five-game visit to the North Side. For the first time since May 1986, the Cardinals split a game of at least 11 innings between two pitchers and won, according to Elias. Cabrera’s use was both a nod to his effectiveness and availability as it was revealing to what arms the Cardinals can count on in close quarters like a one-run game at Wrigley. [/QUOTE]
