MILWAUKEE — While Adam Wainwright and Yadier Molina continued their side-by-side walk toward history with a tidy round number and a wink of nostalgia, it didn’t take long to show they had no intention of living in the past.
Not when they could showcase the present.
In his first start as both a 40-something and reigning National League pitcher of the month, Wainwright delivered six shutout innings as the Cardinals built a 10-run lead before Milwaukee figured out a way to sneak two runs on the right-hander in the seventh. Wainwright and Molina became the fourth battery in baseball history to make 300 starts together, and they marked the occasion with a 15-4 drubbing of the best team in the NL Central at its home, American Family Field.
