ST. LOUIS — The Cardinals finally figured out a way to close out a three-game sweep: have Adam Wainwright start at home. Oh, and facing the flailing Pirates didn't hurt, either. Wainwright remained absolutely untouchable at Busch Stadium, tossing seven superb innings as the Cardinals swept away the Pirates, 9-1, on Sunday afternoon. In addition [...]
Westbrook ready to get going with Cards Freese set to start rehab assignment Lohse feels good after latest rehab work ST.

No rest for weary, ailing with short turnaround Baby Birds Tidbits NEW YORK — The Cardinals maintain interest in a starting pitcher, but the options may be dwindling. With Roy Oswalt apparently off the market, reportedly on his way to the Phillies if he approves the deal, the top-line starting pitchers are now off the [...]
NEW YORK — A frustrating road trip for the Cardinals ended with a perfunctory loss. R.A.

Cards may acquire everyday player at Deadline Cardinals shuffle starting rotation Baby Birds Tidbits NEW YORK — Kyle Lohse pronounced his first Minor League rehabilitation start a success on Tuesday, a day after he lasted three innings for Triple-A Memphis. Lohse threw 43 pitches, 29 of them strikes, allowing two runs (one earned) on two [...]
Ludwick returns to Cards' lineup CHICAGO — With the Cardinals' outfield now a little bit more crowded with the return of everyday right fielder Ryan Ludwick, it stands to figure that center fielder Jon Jay might be forced to come off the bench in a pinch-hitting role a little more often than previously.

CHICAGO — The Cardinals were finally able to halt their 21 consecutive scoreless innings streak on Saturday, but they weren't able to end their losing streak, falling, 6-5, to the Cubs at Wrigley Field. Though they ended their scoreless innings streak, the Cards' offense left something to be desired. The team left the bases loaded [...]
