ST. LOUIS — On the 10th anniversary celebration of the St. Louis Cardinals’ 2006 World Series celebration in 2016, Adam Wainwright, a member of that team, threw a three-hit shutout at Busch Stadium against the Miami Marlins.
It fell to Wainwright again to pitch Saturday night on the 10th anniversary celebration of the Cardinals’ most recent World Series championship in 2011, a year when Wainwright likewise was a member, albeit injured, of that team. This one didn’t go quite to the same form although Wainwright pitched effectively against the San Diego Padres.
But although Wainwright did not gain the win or make it to 2,000 strikeouts for his career — he fell one short — the Cardinals continued on their appointed rounds.
