Wainwright deals Cards into NLCS against LA

St. Louis ace goes the distance in vanquishing pesky Pirates 6-1

Adam Wainwright held the hug with catcher Yadier Molina a few extra seconds, soaking in his latest pressure-packed performance for the St. Louis Cardinals.

"I've got to put it right up there with the most fun and one of the greatest moments of my career so far," Wainwright said. "Those are the kind of moments that starting pitchers live for. I almost didn't want to let go of Yadier."
