ST. Adidas Brandon Saad Jersey . LOUIS -- Watching the top of the ninth inning from the dugout, St. Louis Cardinals ace Adam Wainwright thought hed played the role of a "nervous dad." "Like when I watch my friends do something, Im always more nervous than when I do it," Wainwright said. "When I watch my daughters, even at ballet or something, Im more nervous than if I was out there doing ballet." Allen Craigs game-ending leaping catch high at the left field fence preserved a 3-2 victory over the San Diego Padres on Sunday. Wainwright became the first NL pitcher to reach 13 wins. The Cardinals have won nine of 12. The Padres have lost 19 of 24. Craig has 12 hits and six RBIs during a seven-game hitting streak for the Cardinals, who took two of three in both series against the Padres this season. Hes a confident defender, too, and never thought pinch hitter Jedd Gyorkos drive with two on and two out was going out of the park. The glove work prevented at least an extra-base hit that would have given the Padres the lead, and preserved Edward Mujicas 28th save in 30 chances. "Obviously, it came off the bat good," Craig said. "I dont know if he hit it good enough. Obviously, it wasnt enough." Gyorko agreed with Wainwrights assessment that he just got under the ball a little. He hadnt viewed a replay, and didnt want to, either. "No. It was a good play," Gyorko said. "Thats how the game goes sometimes." The St. Louis defence turned three double plays behind Wainwright (13-5), who allowed two runs with seven strikeouts and worked around two walks. The Padres got the leadoff man on base seven times but he minimized the impact. "He got tough with guys on base, no doubt about it," Padres manager Bud Black said. "Hes a veteran pitcher with a lot of know-how. "We had good swings against an All-Star pitcher. To a man, we fought him. He knew it." Yonder Alonso singled three times with an RBI for the Padres. Eric Stults (8-8) allowed three runs and eight hits in six innings, stranding two runners in the second and fifth, falling short in a bid to win three straight starts for the first time in his career. "This is a team where they get guys on base and they get in kind of a swing mode, they want to score quick," Stults said. "That third inning got away a little bit." Wainwright matched his season high for walks after entering with a NL-low 15 in 146 2-3 innings. He had only one perfect inning but got key outs with breaking balls and struck out Everth Cabrera with a man on third to end the seventh. Wainwright is 5-2 with a 1.47 ERA against the Padres after beating them for the second time this season. The first four Cardinals reached safely in the third capped by David Freeses two-run double when centre fielder Alexi Amarista missed a diving catch and the ball went to the wall. Freese was thrown out at third on strong relays from right fielder Will Venable and Cabrera and the Cardinals had just one more runner in scoring position the rest of the way. Matt Carpenter opened the third with a double off the base of the wall in right-centre for his second straight hit and leads the majors with 39 multi-hit games. Cabrera led off the game with an opposite-field double, a chopper down the third-base line that Wainwright called a "doink fest," and scored on Alonsos two-out hit. The Padres cut the deficit to a run in the sixth on a double by Carlos Quentin, another Alonso hit and a double-play ball. Notes: Thousands lined up outside Busch Stadium several hours before game time for Stan Musial replica statues and a near-sellout of 44,033 was the Cardinals 14th straight of 43,000 or more. ... Carpenter leads the NL with 31 doubles. ... Carlos Beltran got a day off due to general soreness, although he told manager Mike Matheny he could play. ... The Cardinals have a day off before rookie Shelby Miller (9-6, 2.92) makes his first start after a 12-day break against the Phillies Tuesday. Andrew Cashner (5-5, 3.81) pitches for San Diego in the opener of a four-game set in Milwaukee. ... Padres OFs made a pair of outstanding plays. Venables sliding catch left a long skid mark in foul territory in the fourth and LF Quentin snatched Craigs liner to end the seventh. ... Stults threw a career-high 124 pitches. Adidas Jack Johnson Jersey . It just didnt show when he hit the ice. Berra made 42 saves and Kris Russell scored at 1:32 of overtime, lifting the Calgary Flames to a 3-2 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks on Sunday night. Adidas Boone Jenner Jersey . Perhaps Carroll was so prepared for a break because he believes there is very little the Seattle Seahawks need heading into the off-season. "I dont see anything that we need to add. We just have to get better," Carroll said. http://www.bluejacketshockeypro.com/adidas+seth+jones+blue+jackets+jersey . While hell be dialed in to that tournament on a course he loves, you can forgive him if his eyes glance down the calendar just a bit, towards April. A look at whats happening all around the majors Thursday:---DEADLINE APPROACHESIts the final day of the All-Star break, and the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline is approaching. Contenders needing a closer are sure to be asking the Yankees about left-hander Aroldis Chapman. San Diegos Drew Pomeranz or Tampa Bays Jake Odorizzi could wind up in new rotations. Colorado outfielder Carlos Gonzalez and Milwaukee catcher Jonathan Lucroy are among the top bats that could move, as well.TOUGHER ROAD AHEADThe Cubs raced to a big lead in the NL Central behind a bevy of All-Stars, but also while playing the second-easiest schedule in the majors, per Baseball Reference . The next few weeks should be a bit tougher. Chicago returns from the All-Star break with three games against AL-leading Texas and then plays the Mets, Brewers, White Sox and Mariners to close out July -- all but Milwaukee are over .500 and competing for playoff spots. Chicago is up seven games on the Cardinals in the Central after going 2-8 in its final 10 games before the break.YU READY?The Rangers rotation will get a boost shortly after the break when right-hander Yu Darvish returns from the disabled list tto start Saturday against the Cubs. Adidas William Karlsson Jersey. Darvish missed the beginning of the season following Tommy John surgery and only made three starts before going back on the DL on June 9 with shoulder discomfort. The Japanese ace made two recent rehab starts with Double-A Frisco during his most recent DL stint, allowing five earned runs in seven innings.GOING BACKWARDAnthony Gose has tumbled from the majors all the way to Double-A this season following a demotion Wednesday. The Tigers outfielder was sent to Erie after he was in an altercation with Triple-A Toledo manager Lloyd McClendon during a game over the weekend. Gose has hit .209 in 30 games with the Tigers and .185 in 50 games with the Mud Hens this season.

Most importantly, Anthonys transfer to Erie is a move to give him a fresh start to his overall performance as he works his way back to Detroit.
