ST. LOUIS -- Jhonny Peralta went deep twice, ending the St. Louis Cardinals 366 at-bat homerless drought. The first would have been plenty for Adam Wainwright. Wainwright became the majors first five-game winner and Peralta had two home runs and four RBIs in a 7-0 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday. "Im really having more fun pitching right now than I ever have," Wainwright said. "Its just such a chess match. "I feel Im right where I want to be and so Im going to work extra hard to stay there and not get complacent." Matt Holliday, Allen Craig and Yadier Molina also had RBIs for the Cardinals, who totalled five runs in their previous four games. St. Louis took two of three from the Pirates, shutting them out in both wins. "We got some big hits today, gave him a little bit of room to breathe," manager Mike Matheny said. "Even though weve got all the faith in the world in Waino, you just hate to have to be on the edge all the time." Edinson Volquez (1-2) gave up six runs in 5 2-3 innings for Pittsburgh, which has dropped five of six. His day unraveled after the Pirates appeal of a potential double-play ball was denied and first baseman Ike Davis foot was ruled off the bag in the sixth inning. Davis was on the dirt stretching for the relay and was adamant replay got it wrong, contending he had contact with the base for "at least a half-second" after gloving the relay from second baseman Neil Walker. "I knew I was on the bag. You can look at the video yourself and you would think I was on the bag, too," Davis said after the game. "But I guess it wasnt a close enough view." Craigs two-out bloop single made it 2-0 the next at-bat, his first RBI in eight games. Peralta followed with a three-run homer on a full count for a 5-0 lead that chased Volquez, whos 3-6 with a 5.66 ERA in 12 career starts against St. Louis. Manager Clint Hurdle said if the umpires had called it a double play, he didnt think Matheny would have prevailed in a challenge. "You saw how it changed the complexion of the game," Hurdle said. "I dont think it does anything mentally, youve got to play through it. "Weve been playing through calls we didnt like for 128 years, so that part of it is not going to change." Peralta also homered leading off the fifth, the Cardinals first since Craig on April 16 at Milwaukee. He has six homers, the most ever by a Cardinals shortstop in the opening month of the season and one more than Edgar Renteria hit in 2000. "The first one, I knew it was gone for sure," Peralta said. "The second home run, I didnt know for sure if was gone. He threw me a pretty good change-up." Wainwright (5-1) allowed three hits in eight scoreless innings and hasnt allowed a run in 25 consecutive innings. He stayed on turn after tweaking his right knee trying to cover first in his last start at New York and had seven strikeouts with two walks. Wainwrights only loss came April 6 at Pittsburgh when he allowed two runs in seven innings but lost 2-1 in another matchup with Volquez, with the win going to reliever Tony Watson. On Sunday, Wainwright retired nine straight before hitting Jose Tabata with a breaking ball with one out in the sixth. Pedro Alvarez singled with two outs, but Wainwright got Neil Walker on a called third strike. Hes the fourth St. Louis pitcher to win five games in the opening month, joining Darryl Kile (2000), Bob Tewksbury (1994) and John Denny (1977). "You cannot make a lot of mistakes," Volquez said. "Hes unbelievable. Hes a superstar." Matt Adams tripled off Jeanmar Gomez in the eighth and scored on Molinas sacrifice fly. NOTES: The Pirates have lost five consecutive series. ...

Lets make one thing clear: The Ottawa Senators acquired Ben Bishop from the St. Louis Blues for one reason and one reason alone.England shouldnt expect too much of Jos Buttler if he is brought in to replace struggling Ben Duckett for the third Test against India, says Mike Atherton. Ducketts place is under scrutiny after the Northamptonshire batsman struggled once again against Indias slow bowlers to return scores of five and nought in Englands 246-run second Test defeat, at Visakhapatnam.It means the 22-year-old has scored just 105 runs in his five Test innings so far, a tally which includes 56 off 64 balls against Bangladesh on a turning surface in Dhaka last month. Ian Botham believes England need to drop the struggling Ben Duckett But Buttler has not played Test cricket since he was dropped for Jonny Bairstow ahead of the third Test in Sharjah against Pakistan after a run of form that yielded 156 runs in 12 knocks - his overall record in that series reading 34 runs in four knocks - and he is currently short on match practice.The only option England have if they do choose to replace Duckett is Buttler, former England captain Atherton told Sky Sports.It would be difficult to see England go back to Gary Ballance straight away, given that they left him out after the Bangladesh series. Alastair Cook insists Ben Duckett has an England future The advantage of picking Buttler is that hes a right-hander, who have looked more comfortable against Indias off-spinners. The problem with Buttler, though, is very similar to Duckett; when he played Test cricket, he didnt show he had a defensive technique when pitches started to deteriorate and against spin in the UAE - which was when he was leftt out this time last year.ddddddddddddYou are always a better player when you are out of the side but that is a possible option. David Gower has some batting tips for struggling fellow left-hander Ben Duckett England coach Trevor Bayliss claimed in the wake of Englands defeat that no player is working harder in the nets than Duckett, who was bowled in the first innings after showing all three stumps to Ravichandran Ashwin.The left-hander looked to bat further across his stumps in the second dig but fell when he attempted to sweep the spinner, gloving a catch behind to wicketkeeper Wriddhiman Saha.Asked by Sky Sports reporter Ian Ward if the time has now come to take Duckett out of the firing line, England captain Alastair Cook said: It shows how hard international cricket is. There is no hiding place. Paul Farbrace admits that Ben Duckett must improve his batting technique You play and score a lot of runs for your county away from the microscope and then within a couple of dismissals the media and TV are all over it. The whole enormity of the situation can impact the guy.Ben is a very talented cricketer - theres no doubt about it. Well have to make a decision on it, but whatever decision we make Ben is certainly a guy who will be around for England.Our live coverage of the third Test between India and England begins at 3.45am on Sky Sports 2 this Saturday.
