St. Louis pitcher Adam Wainwright will belatedly start his final major league season on Saturday when the Cardinals continue their three-game home series with the Detroit Tigers.
The Tigers won the opener 5-4 on Friday for their fourth straight victory. The Cardinals took their seventh consecutive loss.
Wainwright, 41, previously announced his plans to retire after this season. After making three minor league rehabilitation appearances, Wainwright got the green light to return to the St. Louis rotation. He went 11-12 with a 3.71 ERA last season. "As far as the booing, it's not something I expect from our fans, but I also don't expect to play like we've played," Wainwright said. "With what we've gotten, I can't say we don't deserve it."
