The Cardinals defeated the Phillies 4-3 as they took game one of the series. Yadier Molina started the scoring for the Cardinals in the Top of the 4th with a double out to right field, scoring Matt Holliday and Jon Jay. Adam Wainwright had a shutout through 5 innings but the Phillies tied the game at two as Chase Utley smashed a ball up the middle to score in Freddy Galvis to tie the game. Two runs for the Phillies in the 6th inning ended Adam Wainwright's 18 1/3 scoreless inning streak. Wainwright received the win lasting 7 innings allowing 3 runs on 9 hits and striking out 4. Wainwright still holds a streak as he has gone 29 innings straight without allowing a walk to start the season. The game was tied at 3 in the Top of the 8th as Carlos Beltran hit a solo home run to left field as the Cardinals took a 4-3 lead. The bullpen has been a concern early this season for the Cardinals, and their bullpen gave their fans a scare tonight, but Edward Mujica came in to record four outs. It wasn't easy as Phillies had runners on second and third to start the Bottom of the 9th with one out, but Mujica sealed the deal by striking out Jimmy Rollins and getting Freddy Galvis to ground out to second basemen Daniel Descalso. Edward Mujica recorded his first save of the season, Adam Wainwright improves to 3-1, and Mike Adams falls to 0-1. Cardinals improves to 9-6 on the season and the Phillies fall to 6-10.
