ST. LOUIS -- Adam Wainwright did everything he could do to give the St. Louis Cardinals a win Saturday night. Wainwright pitched a five-hitter and also contributed at the plate with an RBI double and a single as the Cardinals beat the Milwaukee Brewers 6-1. "I dont think you can ask him to do anything else," St. Louis manager Mike Matheny. "What I really liked about tonight was just how sharp he was with his fastball. He really painted both sides and getting strikeouts with it." Wainwright (9-10) moved closer to .500 after starting the season at 0-3. He threw 73 of 98 pitches for strikes, walking none and fanning seven. All of Wainwrights strikeouts came during a stretch between the third and seventh innings when he retired 13 batters in a row. The complete game was his second of the season and 10th of his career. "Any time you keep the bullpen out of it, you bring a win home for the team," Wainwright said. "I was able to get ahead and finish guys off with located fastballs," he said. Corey Hart had one of the Brewers hits. He said Wainwright looked a lot like the pitcher he was before missing 2011 with Tommy John surgery. "Hes one of those guys that throws strikes," Hart said. "Its tough because you dont want to swing at every first pitch he throws, but hes not a guy you want to get beyond in the count with." Carlos Beltran hit his 25th homer, giving him an NL-leading 77 RBIs. Jon Jay also homered for the Cardinals and Yadier Molina added a two-run single. Ryan Braun drove in the Brewers run with a sacrifice fly in the first. After spotting the Brewers that 1-0 lead, St. Louis tied it when Beltran hit the first pitch from Mark Rogers (0-1) in the second just over the right-field wall. The ball bounced off the stands and back on to the field, and Beltran initially had to stop at third. After a one-minute review by the umpires, Beltran was awarded home. The Cardinals broke it open by scoring four times in the third. Daniel Descalso and Wainwright led off with doubles and Allen Craig had an RBI single. Molinas two-out single made it 5-1. NOTES: The Cardinals honoured members of 1982 World Series championship clubs before the game and both teams wore retro jerseys.

PETERSBURG, Fla.ATLANTA -- The Atlanta Hawks are in talks with Danny Ferry and could be close to reaching an agreement to hire the San Antonio executive as general manager. In a statement released to The Associated Press on Sunday night, the Hawks confirmed they have "reached out" to Ferry, also the former Cleveland general manager. "As we continue to evaluate our franchise and look to build a championship calibre organization, we reached out to Danny Ferry," the Hawks said. "We are engaged in conversation regarding the Atlanta Hawks and our basketball operations. As the situation evolves, we will update at the appropriate time." Hawks general manager Rick Sunds contract expires at the end of June. Sund did not return messages to The Associated Press on Saturday and Sunday. Hawks co-owner Michael Gearon Jr. told The Associated Press last month he hoped the 61-year-old Sund would continue as general manager. Hawks co-owner Bruce Levenson declined comment Sunday. Gearon did not return messages on Sunday. Asked Sunday night about Sunds status, including a possible continued role as an adviser, Hawks spokesman Arthur Triche said in an email reply: "No details regarding that at this time." Ferrry became the Spurs vice-president of basketball operations in 2010.dddddddddddd. As Clevelands GM from 2005-10, he led the Cavs through the most successful period in their history. The NBA draft is Thursday. It is not known if the Hawks are hoping to reach an agreement with Ferry in time to direct the draft. Ferry also has been linked to a possible position with Philadelphia. After advancing to the second round of the playoffs three straight years, the Hawks were eliminated in the first round by Boston this year. The Hawks have exercised their option on coach Larry Drews contract for next season but did not offer a new deal. Atlanta finished 40-26, drawing praise from Sund for an "outstanding job," despite being without All-Star centre Al Horford for all but 11 games of the regular season. Horford returned in Game 4 of the Celtics series. The Hawks will return an experienced nucleus of Horford, six-time All-Star Joe Johnson and Josh Smith, who is entering the final year of his contract. Marvin Williams, point guard Jeff Teague and backup centre Pachulia also are under contract. The other nine players are free agents, leaving much work to be done by the general manager. ' ' '
