CINCINNATI (AP) – Adam Wainwright pitched seven innings for his ninth win, and every Cardinals starter had a hit in a 9-2 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Friday night that gave St. Louis a four-game lead in the NL Central, its biggest of the season.
Wainwright (9-3) gave up two runs and seven hits as the Cardinals improved the major leagues’ best record to 40-21.
Slumping Pete Kozma drove in three runs, David Freese and Jon Jay knocked in two apiece, and four Cardinals extended long hitting streaks against a pitching staff in a downturn. Mike Leake (5-3) lasted only five innings for the Reds, who have given up 26 runs while losing their last three games.
St. Louis has won the last four series between the teams.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) – Twelve past champions are scheduled to play in the U.S. Senior Open that will be held next month at Omaha Country Club. The U.S. Golf Association on Thursday announced 78 of the 156 spots have been filled. Remaining spots will be taken by golfers who advance in sectional qualifying later this month and by eligible winners of official PGA Tour and Champions Tour events in the weeks remaining before the Senior Open.
Returning champions are 2012 winner Roger Chapman, Olin Browne (2011), Brad Bryant (2007), Allen Doyle (2005, 2006), Dave Eichelberger (1999), Fred Funk (2009), Hale Irwin (1998, 2000), Peter Jacobsen (2004), Bernhard Langer (2010), Graham Marsh (1997), Don Pooley (2002) and Eduardo Romero (2008).
Other familiar names are Colin Montgomerie, Mark Calcavecchia, Fred Couples, Tom Kite, and Tom Watson.
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Cardinals pitcher Chris Carpenter has thrown to hitters for the second time in four days as he tries to overcome a career-threatening nerve issue. The St. Louis right-hander threw about 25 pitches to teammates Shane Robinson and Tony Cruz on Thursday. It was Carpenter’s fourth outing in a possible comeback. The former Cy Young winner hasn’t pitched this season after feeling numbness in his throwing shoulder during spring training. Carpenter missed most of last year, then went 1-2 in the playoffs.
Carpenter didn’t speak to the media before the Cardinals played Arizona. St. Louis manager Mike Matheny said Carpenter’s pitches moved well. Matheny said Carpenter’s next step will likely be a similar session with live batters in a few days if his body feels well enough.
ST. LOUIS (AP) — The St. Louis Cardinals have promoted pitcher Kevin Siegrist from Triple-A Memphis. The Cardinals recalled Siegrist on Thursday and optioned pitcher Maikel Cleto to Memphis. Siegrist was picked as the Cardinals’ best minor league pitcher in May. The left-handed reliever went 2-1 with a 1.95 ERA at Triple-A and Double-A. The Cardinals began the day with the best record in the majors. Siegrist becomes the 22nd pitcher they’ve had on their roster this season.
Manager Mike Matheny said Siegrist was called up in part because St. Louis travels to Cincinnati for a three-game series starting Friday. The Reds have several left-handed bats and the Cardinals wanted a second lefty in the bullpen, along with Randy Choate.
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Shelby Miller hit his first career home run and also pitched six sharp innings, leading the St. Louis Cardinals over the Arizona Diamondbacks 12-8 Thursday night. Matt Adams and Daniel Descalso homered in an eight-run fourth inning off Ian Kennedy. Matt Holliday and Matt Carpenter also connected for the Cardinals. Miller (7-3) allowed two runs and six hits. He struck out nine and walked none.
Kennedy (3-4) was tagged for 10 runs and 13 hits in four innings. Arizona scored three times in the ninth, and Edward Mujica got two outs for his 18th save in 18 chances.
