Sunday was a successful Mother’s Day for the Cardinals.

Though the series began with a stumble, the Cardinals came back to take Sunday’s rubber game against the Chicago Cubs 5-0. Starting pitcher Adam Wainwright went seven scoreless innings — the first time in ten months he’s had a scoreless outing — and the Cardinals got all they needed on offense in the form of home runs from catcher Yadier Molina and first baseman Matt Carpenter.

Wainwright’s start got off to a bit of a perilous beginning though. The first inning was when he spent most of his energy, throwing 21 pitches and letting two men into scoring position. He was able to wiggle out of trouble, however, by striking out Cubs catcher Miguel Montero.

The Cardinals got on the board early, as Molina jumped on a first-pitch fastball from Cubs starter Jake Arrieta in the second inning and placed it in the left field stands. Molina’s homer was his second of the season and drove in third baseman Jedd Gyorko, who’d singled to lead off the frame, to give the Cardinals a 2-0 lead.

In the third inning, the Cardinals kept up the pressure on Arrieta. Second baseman Kolten Wong led off the inning with a hit by pitch, and two batters later Carpenter sent one over the right-center field wall.
