here." Blaum, who played at Duke, shot a 68 at Thornblade Club -- the site of

Matt Carpenter had a career-high five hits for St. Louis on Wednesday night. The
last of them was arguably the most important. Carpenter delivered a go-ahead
double in the 11th inning, and the Cardinals added two more runs on a single by
Allen Craig, sending them to a 5-2 victory over the Kansas City Royals and
ending a frustrating three-game losing streak. "Sometimes it takes an emotional
victory like this to kind of jumpstart a team," said Carpenter, who also reached
base on a walk. "Maybe this one will be the one for us." The Royals rallied with
two runs in the ninth, and the game remained tied until the 11th, when
Peter Bourjos worked a one-out walk off Royals reliever Kelvin Herrera (1-2).
Carpenter then rapped his double to centre field, drawing a roar from a crowd
comprised mostly of Cardinals fans. Craig added his single off Tim Collins later
in the inning, and Pat Neshek breezed through the bottom half to end the Royals
six-game winning streak against National League clubs. Sam Freeman (1-0) earned
the win with a perfect 10th inning. "It was just one of those gut-check games,"
Craig said. "Were not going to stop competing." Carpenter became the first
Cardinal to record five hits in a game since Ryan Ludwick on Sept. 4, 2009. He
had a part in his clubs first three runs, driving in Mark Ellis in the second
inning and scoring on Matt Hollidays groundout in the seventh After St. Louis
dropped the first two games of the four-game, two-city set at Busch Stadium, the
NL champs rebounded to win for the eighth straight time at Kauffman Stadium. The
Cardinals persevered after Adam Wainwright blew a 2-0 lead in the ninth inning.
He struck out Eric Hosmer to start it, but the ball squirted away from catcher
Yadier Molina, allowing Hosmer to reach first base. Billy Butler followed with a
crisp single up the middle. Trevor Rosenthal, who took the loss Tuesday night,
entered in relief and walked Alex Gordon on a full count to load the bases.
Salvador Perez followwed with a broken-bat groundout to score a run, and
Lorenzo Cains single up the middle knotted the game 2-all.
Wade Boggs Rays Jersey. "You lose the lead and a start like that from Waino, theres a lot of teams that will roll over in
that situation," Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said, "but the guys stepped up."
The ninth-inning rally still soured a dazzling outing by Wainwright, who was
trying to become the NLs first nine-game winner. The two-time All-Star did not
allow a hit until the sixth inning, stranded three runners on third base and
struck out eight while walking just two. "Wainwright pitched a great game. Hes
an unbelievable pitcher," Cain said. "When we tied the game, I thought we had
them. We tried to spoil it for him at the end." Wainwright wasnt the only
Cardinal to get on track, though. Molina had hits in his first two at-bats,
snapping an 0-for-16 streak. Ellis ended an 0-for-8 stretch with his single in
the second that led to the games first run. Jason Vargas kept Kansas City in it
most of the night. After leaving the bases loaded in the first inning, he went
on strand 10 in a season-high eight innings. The left-hander allowed nine hits
and walked two while allowing two runs or fewer for the fifth time in six
starts. "Carpenter was pretty hot," Vargas said. "It was just one of those games
where youve got to grind, make pitches and kind of think your way through
things." NOTES: Vargas threw a season-high 117 pitches. ... Royals RHP
