Michael Wacha flirted with a no-hitter and Ozuna hit a grand slam as the St. Louis Cardinals shut-out the Pittsburgh Pirates yesterday at Busch Stadium 5-0.  Marcel Ozuna hit a grand slam in the 1st inning to give the Cards a 4-0 lead, and then Michael Wacha went to work, and didn’t allow a Pittsburgh hit until the top of the 9th to earn his 7th straight win, and lower his ERA to 2.41.  The Redbirds took 3 of 4 from the Pirates in the weekend series.

**The Cardinals have announced that Yadier Molina and Carlos Martinez will return the club in time for Tuesdays game with the Miami Marlins.
