Cardinals pitcher Adam Wainwright was named the team's starter for opening day, manager Mike Matheny announced Friday. Wainwright, who is entering his second full season after Tommy John surgery wiped out his entire 2011 campaign, will take the hill April 1 at Arizona. He is carrying a 3.48 ERA and a stellar strikeout-to-walk ratio of 10-to-1 over three starts this spring (10 1/3 innings).
