ST. LOUIS -- While the St. Louis Cardinals continued their recent trend of solid to outstanding work from their starting pitchers on Saturday, the Milwaukee Brewers kept moving the needle in the wrong direction.Adam Wainwrights seven shutout innings gave St. Louis a 3-0 win and deepened Milwaukees recent skid offensively. In losing three straight games, the Brewers have managed just two runs.Weather permitting, Milwaukee will try to figure things out against the Cardinals in Sundays series finale at Busch Stadium.Were in a little bit of a funk offensively, Brewers manager Craig Counsell said. Were just in one of those couple-day stretches of struggling to get things going and create opportunities.St. Louis (42-38) has tended to do that to Milwaukee (35-45) in recent years. It owns a 6-2 advantage in this years season series, outscoring it by 48-14, and is 45-20 against the Brewers, dating to the start of the 2013 season.But a 90 percent chance of rain might present Milwaukee with a temporary reprieve. While the teams played through showers for most of Saturdays game, some forecasts are calling for as many as 2/3 inches of rain Sunday.Nothing could dampen the Cardinals mood after perhaps their best defensive game of the season. They turned four double plays, used a nifty deke at second base to steal an eighth-inning out and denied at least two hits with outstanding plays to turn hard-hit balls into outs.It was a stark contrast from their previous three games, in which they made eight errors and other mental mistakes.Just good plays all the way around, St. Louis manager Mike Matheny said. Being able to trust your defense is one of those confidence-boosters for your pitching staff. They dont have to be perfect.Michael Wacha (4-7, 4.42 ERA) gets the call for the Cardinals on Sunday. He has pitched well in his last four starts, all of them quality, and has won two straight outings, including an 8-4 verdict on Tuesday night in Kansas City.Wacha, who lost seven straight decisions from April 23 to June 22, has displayed much better command lately. He has hit the lower parts of the strike zone with his fastball, enabling him to use his changeup as a wipeout pitch.Wacha, whos 3-0 with a 4.22 ERA in five career outings against the Brewers, will be opposed by right-hander Chase Anderson (4-8, 5.45). Hes coming off a 6-5 loss on Tuesday night to the Los Angeles Dodgers, who rocked him for eight hits and six runs (five earned) in four innings.That outing actually qualifies as an improvement of sorts for Anderson, who has been hit so hard in his last three starts that his ERA during that span dropped to 12.71 after Tuesday night. But he has enjoyed good outings in his two career starts against St. Louis, allowing only two earned runs in 12 innings.Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina is expected to make his 73rd start in 81 games and is looking to build on his 1,500th career hit that he accomplished in the fourth inning Saturday.Hes been one of the greatest Cardinals ever, Wainwright said of his longtime battery mate. We were excited for him. Nike Air Max 97 Nederland . Jane Virtanen scored two, and Alex Roach and Elliott Peterson rounded out the offence for the Hitmen (40-15-6). Brady Brassart chipped in with three assists. Colton McCarthy scored twice, Brayden Point had a goal and two assists, and Jack Rodewald also scored for the Warriors (15-35-9), who were 2 for 5 on the power play. Nike Air Max Axis Nederland . -- Ken Appleby made 32 saves for his first shutout of the season to lead the Oshawa Generals to a 2-0 win over the Belleville Bulls on Wednesday in Ontario Hockey League action. http://www.airmaxkopennederland.com/uitverkoop-air-max-95.html . With the short-handed Warriors needing help from someone -- anyone -- to stop a three-game skid, ONeal returned from right knee and groin injuries that had sidelined him for four games and put up season highs with 18 points and eight rebounds. It was just enough to help lift Golden State to a 102-101 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday night. Nike Air Max 98 Heren Sale . Its sharpness matched my mind. This was no night to go to sleep. Nike Air Max Sale Nederland . U.S. District Judge Lorna G. Schofield in Manhattan agreed that lawyers on both sides could make their formal requests by Nov. 8.

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers had a two-part plan to deal with the Packs loss to the Dallas Cowboys?on Sunday.Have a glass of scotch and chill out a little bit [and] watch the film, Rodgers said after the Packers?30-16 loss at Lambeau Field. Im my biggest critic, and I look at this as finely as I look at every other game and improve.?Rodgers, who has discussed his penchant for scotch before, understood the frustration both inside the Packers locker room and among the Lambeau fans, who booed the offense off the field after another failed series in the second half.Look, were upset, theyre upset, its part of it, Rodgers said. Its not the first time, probably wont be the last time.The Packers (3-2) entered Sundays game with the NFLs 27th-ranked passing game and withh Rodgers as the NFLs least accurate passer.dddddddddddd He ranked last among all qualified quarterbacks in completion percentage (56.1 percent) coming in.?Despite completing 73.8 percent of his passes Sunday, Rodgers managed only one touchdown drive, and it didnt come until he hit Randall Cobb for a 6-yard touchdown pass with 6:53 left in the game. Before that, the Packers trailed 27-9. He turned the ball over twice (an interception and a lost fumble) and missed several throws.The only silver lining is we play again in four days, Rodgers said, referring to Thursdays game against the Chicago Bears. Hopefully wash this taste out of our mouth pretty quickly. ' ' '
