    When St. Louis Cardinals manager Mike Matheny visited the mound with two out and two on in the seventh inning on Sunday, he had no idea whether he was going to replace starter Adam Wainwright.

    "I was good to go either way," Matheny said. "I needed to look in his eyes and not hear what he says but see how he says it. I'm kind of watching his mannerisms and then I give him a chance to say what he needs to say."

    Matheny liked what he heard (and saw) and returned to the dugout. Wainwright then got Nate Schierholtz to ground out to complete a strong outing.

    The right-hander pitched seven scoreless innings and Matt Holliday hit a solo homer to lead the Cardinals to a 1-0 victory and a series win over the Chicago Cubs.
