He entered 8-2 with a 2.95 ERA against the Braves, who drafted him in the first round in 2000 and traded him to St. Louis in 2003 in a deal for J.D. Drew.We needed to win that game, Wainwright said. Im sorry we didnt, that was my fault, but the luck was certainly not on my side and sometimes you need it.The Cardinals are just 26-32 at home after going 55-26 last season, but have been good on the road at 32-21. Theyve lost 12 series at homme.Its pretty dadgum dark, but nobody in this clubhouse is quitting, Wainwright said.

In his previous three outings, he allowed 14 earned runs in 16 1/3 innings.The big cushion certainly helped.It was awesome to see a lead like that, especially with their ace, Foltynewicz said. Thats what starting pitchers should do -- thats your job to get deep into games and give your team the best chance to win.Jim Johnson earned his eighth save in 11 chances.Braves third baseman Adonis Garcia made an outstanding stab down the line to turn a double play on Jhonny Peralta in the sixth. Right fielder Nick Markakis made a diving catch on Wainwrights shallow pop fly to end the fourth.The defense was amazing, Foltynewicz said. I was grinding since pitch one.After needing 61 pitches to get through the first two innings, Wainwright finished strong with four scoreless innings. But the Cardinals stranded five runners the first two innings.STILL STREAKINGAtlantas Ender Inciarte singled and scored in the second and has an 18-game hitting streak, matching his career best set in 2014.

Throwback Duke Jerseys . -- Ohio States Urban Meyer has never had any issue acclimating to the biggest stages in college football.KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Canadian left-hander Andrew Albers still remembers exactly what he was thinking about as he drove the 40 hours from Arizona to Florida for one last chance at being a big league ballplayer. "I just wanted a shot," he said. The North Battleford, Sask., native made the most of his tryout with the Minnesota Twins that day two years ago, earning a minor league contract. On Tuesday night, Albers got an even bigger shot at realizing his dreams when he made his major league debut against the Kansas City Royals. Just like he did back then, Albers made the most of it. He allowed four hits while pitching into the ninth inning, leading the Twins to a 7-0 victory at Kauffman Stadium. "Its hard to put into words, but it was special to go out and have that kind of performance in your debut," he said. "Unfortunately, its probably not going to get much better from there." The first big leaguer from Saskatchewan in more than 20 years, Albers only allowed a collection of singles to one of the hottest teams in baseball, and at one point retired 15 straight. He ended up two outs shy of his third straight complete game dating back to his days with Triple-A Rochester, and the first shutout in a big league debut since Detroits Andy Van Hekken did it in 2002. Casey Fien wound up finishing it up when Albers began to labour in the ninth inning. "I didnt want to go out there and take him out," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said, "but he was completely out of gas there at the end. Wow that was fun to watch." The Twins took most of the pressure off Albers with a big night at the plate. Brian Dozier homered and drove in three runs, and Justin Morneau of New Westminster, B.C., and Chris Colabello also went deep. All that damage came against Shields (6-8), who even balked in a run during his worst start in nearly two years. The former All-Star gave up three runs in the first inning and never settled down the rest of the evening, labouring through six innings on an uncomfortably humid night. "Sometimes this can happen," Shields said, "but Ive got to do a better job." The Twins hammered Shields right from the start. Doziers homer was the first leadoff shot for Minnesota since Denard Span went deep against the Phillies on June 12, 2012. Jamey Carroll promptly worked a walk and Morneau, who came into the game hitting .371 against Shields, added a two-run shot later in the first to stake the Twins to a 3-0 lead. Shields continued to struggle with his command in the second inning, walkiing Chris Herrmann to lead it off and then plunking Clete Thomas.dddddddddddd Doug Bernier laid down a perfect sacrifice bunt to move both runners up, and Herrmann scored on Doziers sacrifice fly. Colabello hit his third homer of the year in the fourth, and then plunged Shields into more trouble with a leadoff single in the sixth. Herrmann added a single to put runners on the corners, and a balk by Shields on a pickoff move to third base brought in another run. Dozier drove in his third run of the game with a single to make it 7-0. It was the first time Shields allowed at least seven runs since Aug. 21, 2011, when he was still with Tampa Bay. The three homers he allowed were the most since June 2 of the same year. "He just had trouble getting the ball down," Royals manager Ned Yost said. "Command was the issue most of the night for him. After the second inning it got a little better." Albers couldnt have gotten a whole lot better. The first big leaguer from Saskatchewan since 1991, when Terry Puhl retired, Albers showed promise when he was drafted by the Padres in 2008. But he needed Tommy John surgery the next year and was released before showing what he could do with a rebuilt elbow, finally ending up with the Quebec Capitales of the Can-Am League when he was healthy enough to pitch again. Albers failed to impress in a pair of big league tryouts in Arizona in 2011, but he was willing to drive at his own expense to Florida for another try with the Twins. His only other option was to head home to North Battleford and get on with life, and Albers showed just enough to earn himself a job. "For a guy whos not a prototypical prospect, for them to stick with me the way they have, its pretty special," said Albers, who was 11-5 with a 2.86 ERA at Rochester before getting called upon to replace fellow Canadian Scott Diamond in the Twins rotation. "You dream about this," he said, "but you never know if itll actually happen."
