Adam Wainwright threw seven scoreless innings, but left the game with a hyperextended right knee.

''Just give me a couple of days and everything will be all right,'' Wainwright said. ''At first you get a little scared and then as I started walking off the field, I knew I hadn't done anything wrong. Like I said, all is good.''

''He was terrific. He was just pitching kind of like I've never seen him,'' Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. ''Just a different feel for every single pitch and what he's trying to do with it, and able to locate with all of them. It's been fun to watch.''
