St. Louis Cardinals manager Mike Shildt named Adam Wainwright as the starter in the NL wild-card game next week against either the Los Angeles Dodgers or San Francisco Giants. Wainwright is 17-7 with a 3.08 ERA this season. "He gets better as the game goes, he goes deep in games, he's a big-game pitcher," Shildt said before the Cardinals' game on Thursday.
