2. Trouble at the top
Last night was a bad night for Carlos Martinez (0-3, 4.76 ERA), and tonight is a huge night for Adam Wainwright (0-3, 7.24 ERA). The Cardinals' top two starters have failed to last six innings in six of their seven combined starts. They've got one quality start between the two of them, and it was Martinez on opening night. Since then, Martinez has surrendered 12 earned runs in 15 1/3 innings.
Meanwhile, Wainwright has allowed 11 earned runs in 13.2 innings. This is an obvious take. But if these two don't get right, it will be a long season in St. Louis.
