The Cardinals received a complete-game shutout from a starter for the second time in three games on Saturday against the Brewers.
Adam Wainwright gave up just four hits and struck out 12 over nine scoreless innings in an 8-0 win. It was his fifth career shutout.
The right-hander threw 84 of his 115 pitches for strikes and did not walk a batter.
He also went 3 for 3 with two RBI and a run scored.
Wainwright (2-1) will take the mound next on Thursday against the Phillies. In one start against Philadelphia last season, he allowed one run over six innings in a win.
