Adam Wainwright doubled the St. Louis Cardinals’ lead from three to six over the Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday afternoon with his three-run, two-base hit off fellow All-Star Yovani Gallardo. The blow, along with Wainwright’s complete-game pitching, helped to erase the memories of Saturday’s equally disappointing defeat.

It was only the third bases-clearing double by a Cardinals pitcher since 1990 and first since 2001.

Following are all 37 three-or-more RBI hits by Cardinals pitchers since 1952, thanks to researcher Tom Orf.
