ST. LOUIS _ One way to measure a game that Adam Wainwright brought with him to the Cardinals from his time as a young Braves prospect was a tip from one of the Cy Young-winning starters there about the relation between pitch count and innings.
If a pitcher can leave an inning with the first digit of his pitch count the same as the inning, that pitcher is doing something right.
It takes 20 pitches to get through two? Good beginning.
