From Rotoworld: Wojciechowski held the Cardinals to two runs in six innings Monday in a no-decision. The Cardinals went scoreless for four innings before threatening to put together a big fifth inning against Wojciechowski. Their hopes were dashed when Paul Dejong was thrown out trying to score for the second out and Matt Carpenter flied out to end the frame. The two runs the Cardinals totaled in that frame were all they managed for the night.
Wood (shoulder) will return Saturday against the Reds. Wood is back after a two-week stint on the disabled list. It looked like Wood might be dealing with something more serious after being examined by team doctors last week but that proved to be a false alarm. The left-hander is undefeated with a 1.90 ERA in eight starts this year.
