05/20/2010 - St. Louis, MO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Matt Holliday's two-run, go-ahead double in the second inning held up, as the Cardinals earned a split of a two-game series against the Marlins with a 4-2 decision.
Ryan Ludwick and David Freese each knocked in a run for St. Louis, which received seven solid innings from Adam Wainwright to win for the third time in four games.
Wainwright (6-2) gave up two runs in the first inning then settled down to blank Florida over his next six frames, allowing a total of six hits and three walks while fanning eight to pick up the win.
Nate Robertson (4-4) was saddled with the loss, allowing four runs on six hits and four walks in a six-inning start for the Marlins, who had won six of seven coming into the game.
Hanley Ramirez and Dan Uggla each had an RBI in defeat.
Wainwright allowed the first three hitters of the game to reach base, as Chris Coghlan doubled, Gaby Sanchez walked and Ramirez hit an RBI single that left runners on the corners.
Uggla tacked on a sacrifice fly later in the inning, but Freese got a run back in the bottom half with a two-out, run-scoring single.
The Cardinals went ahead in their next at-bat, scoring three runs with two outs. Ludwick tied it on an opposite-field double to right, and Holliday followed with a one-hopper to the left-field wall, scoring a pair for a 4-2 lead.
Wainwright was relieved in the eighth by Kyle McClellan, who set down Florida's 3-4-5 hitters in order.
In the ninth, Ryan Franklin worked around a two-out walk to earn his 10th save of the season.

March Madness odds and printable March Madness brackets
With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship. Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92. After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points. Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1. Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years. With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed. UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern. Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier. OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak. Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four. It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta. But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.
