Adam Wainwright and Yadier Molina became the all time MLB winning battery on Sunday with a 15-6 romp over the Giants. The Wainwright-Molina duo has now combined for a record 203 wins in their career, passing the 202 mark that was set by Boston/Milwaukee lefhander Warren Spahn and catcher Dell Crandall from 1949-63.

Wainwright held the Giants to just one hit over the first five innings before giving up a two-run homerun to Joc Pederson in the sixth. Paul Goldschmidt had a home run, two doubles, and 3 RBI. Albert Pujols had two hits, two walks, and scored two runs.

The Cardinals improved to 19-15. Next up is a trip to New York to face the Mets. First pitch on Monday is 6:10 p.m. central, we’ll have pregame on KJAN at 5:05 p.m.

IOWA CITY, Iowa – The University of Iowa baseball team brought the tying run to the plate in the top of the ninth inning, but couldn’t complete the comeback in an 11-8 loss at Michigan State on Sunday afternoon at McLane Baseball Stadium at Kobs Field.

The loss drops Iowa’s record to 30-17 overall and 14-7 in Big Ten play heading into the final week of the regular season.  Despite the loss, the Hawkeyes took two of three games in the weekend series.

After Iowa took a 1-0 lead in the first inning on Sam Hojnar’s RBI single to left center, the Spartans’ bats broke out in the second inning to knock Iowa starter Ty Langenberg from the contest.

Michigan State had eight hits in the frame (they had 10 hits in the game) against three Hawkeye pitchers, plating nine runs to take a 9-1 lead.  The Spartans sent 13 batters to the plate in the inning.

The Spartans tacked on their 10th run in the sixth inning before the Hawkeyes began their comeback bid in the seventh.

Redshirt sophomore Peyton Williams hit a two-run homer for his second blast in as many days to make the score 10-3.  Iowa then loaded the bases to start the eighth on a Sam Petersen double, Michael Seegers single and Kyle Huckstorf hit by pitch before Ben Wilmes’ RBI ground out made it 10-4.

After Williams walked to load the bases again, Keaton Anthony emptied the bases with a grand slam to right center for his 11th homer of the season, cutting the deficit to 10-8.

Michigan State got one run back in the bottom half before Iowa threatened again in the ninth.

The Hawkeyes put two runners on base via a Seegers single and Wilmes hit by pitch, bringing Williams to the plate with two outs.  The first baseman barrelled up the first pitch he saw, but it carried to the warning track and was caught in center to end the game.

Iowa out-hit Michigan State, 11-10, in the game with Anthony (2-for-4, 4 RBIs), Fullard (2-for-3), Petersen (2-for-5) and Seegers (2-for-4) collecting multi-hit games.

Langenberg (5-2) suffered the loss, allowing six runs (five earned) on five hits in one inning.  Five relievers saw action in the game.

The Cardinals shut out the Giants 4-0 on Saturday to even up the weekend set. Five Cardinals pitchers combined for an eight-hit shutout. Dakota Hudson struck out two and allowed five hits in five innings of work to get the win.

Tommy Edman hit a solo home run to lead the Cardinals. Paul Goldschmidt and Yadier Molina both had RBI doubles. The Cardinals improved to 18-15 on the season.

The Cards and Giants finish up the series on Sunday night. We’ll have pregame starting at 5:10 p.m. on KJAN.

EAST LANSING, Mich. – The University of Iowa baseball team spotted Michigan State a 2-0 lead before scoring 12 unanswered to post a 12-2 series-clinching victory on Saturday afternoon at McLane Baseball Stadium at Kobs Field.

The victory is the Hawkeyes’ 30th of the season, giving the program 30 or more wins in each of the seven “non-COVID” seasons under head coach Rick Heller.  It is Iowa’s fifth straight series victory (and seventh in eight weeks), moving the record to 30-16 overall, 14-6 in Big Ten play.

“It was great to get win No. 30, especially with all this team has gone through,” said Heller. “The injuries, fighting, scrapping, clawing with our early season schedule.  Getting to that number is great and even bigger yet, we’re still in the race.”

The Hawkeye bullpen was superb in the game, tossing 8 1/3 shutout innings.  Davitt, Ben Beutel and Cam Baumann scattered five hits, struck out five and issued two walks.  Beutel (3-0) earned the victory, while Baumann earned the three-inning save.

Iowa collected 12 hits in the game with Williams, Keaton Anthony and Hojnar tallying multi-hit games.  Williams was 2-for-3 with two RBIs and four runs scored, Anthony was 3-for-4 with his 20th double and Hojnar finished 2-for-4 with two runs scored.
