April 9-11 @ Cincinnati Reds (3-0)

April 9:
Cardinals 8 @ Reds 0
WP: Adam Wainwright (1-1, 4.09)
LP: Homer Bailey (0-1, 5.14)
HR: STL: Yadier Molina (2), Lance Berkman (2), Tyler Greene (1)

Although we only scored runs in two of the nine innings we played, we scored four each time to give us a blowout win. Adam Wainwright was much more effective, pitching seven shutout innings to earn his first win of the season after a rough outing against Miami. After this game we are tied for 2nd in the NL with 7 home runs. Unfortunately, we learned that Daniel Descalso will miss 3 weeks with a herniated disk. Tyler Greene will start at second, and we call up IF Pete Kozma from AA Springfield. Jon Jay will also miss about a week with an oblique strain, but he will not be placed on the DL.

Around the League:
Royals starter Luke Hochevar hurls a 5-hit shutout against the Oakland A's.

April 10th:
Cardinals 2 @ Reds 6
WP: Bronson Arroyo (1-0, 1.42)
LP: Kyle Lohse (0-1, 9.00)
HR: STL: Erik Komatsu (1)

After taking a 1-0 lead in the second, we quickly allowed Cincinnati to score 5 runs in the bottom half of the inning, some because of a costly error by Erik Komatsu. Komatsu did get the first two hits of his MLB career in the game however, but it was not enough for the Cardinals to make a comeback.

Around the League:
A's 2B Jemile Weeks has been suspended for two games after arguing with an umpire.

April 11th:
Cardinals 2 @ Reds 4
WP: Johnny Cueto (1-0, 5.68)
LP: Jaime Garcia (0-2, 5.56)
SV: Sean Marshall (2, 0.00)
HR: None

Once again we surrendered runs early in the game as Cincinnati put four runs across in the second inning. We made it a two-run game, but in the end we couldn't come back as we fall to 2-5. RP Mitchell Boggs was injured while pitching, and a diagnosis will come in a few days.

Around the League:
The Mets nearly had the first no-hitter in franchise history as Johan Santana allows just one hit to the Nationals.

April 12th:
Off day

Around the League:
Yankees CF Curtis Granderson is out 3 months with a concussion.
Philadelphia signs SP Roy Oswalt for one year at $5.77 Million,
