<p><a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.vivaelbirdos.com/">St. Louis Cardinals</a> rookie <span>Jaime Garcia</span> picked up his 11th win of the season Sunday, shutting out the Wild Card rival <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.mccoveychronicles.com/">San Francisco Giants</a> on three hits and just 89 pitches. Every Cardinal starter, including Garcia, had a hit; fellow rookie <span>Allen Craig</span>, getting a rare start in right field, led the scoring with three RBI and his second home run of the season.</p>
<p><span>Barry Zito</span> falls to 8-8 with the loss. Zito allowed seven hits and walked two in just under four innings of work, but the turning point was an eight-pitch at-bat from shortstop <span>Brendan Ryan</span>, who doubled and scored the first run after fouling off five pitches. <span>Albert Pujols</span>, still in the Triple Crown hunt, went 1-3 with an RBI and two walks. </p>
<p>Garcia's 11 wins are tops among senior circuit rookies, and his 2.42 ERA ranks sixth in the National League. </p>
