Wainwright started in and logged seven innings in an eventual loss. It was a sloppy game defensively - on both sides, really. Wong had two errors at second base for the Cardinals, and shortstop Jean Segura had as many miscues for Milwaukee. It was the offense that was the problem for St. Louis, nonetheless. The Cardinals were just 2-for with runners in scoring position. Jhonny Peralta had a two-run double late in the game, but the team fell just short. Michael Wacha got the start in and had plenty of offensive support.

With 19 hits and 10 of them for extra bases to score 10 runs, the Cardinals cruised to a win over the Brewers. Wacha fanned seven batters across six scoreless innings, but the big story from this game started in left field for the Cardinals: Jeremy Hazelbaker.

Hazelbaker cracked the Major League roster after a standout spring and made fans remember his name by going 4-for-4 with a double and a triple in the home opener. Fans will not be allowed to bring cups or mugs filled with beverages into the stadium. During the off season, speakers were installed throughout the stadium to improve game audio in the main concourse.
