DENVER -- On the mound, Adam Wainwright likes to own the inside part of the plate.As hes only recently discovered, crowding it is a pretty good approach for hitting, too.Although shaky on the hill, Wainwright shined in the batters box with a career-high four RBI as the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Colorado Rockies 10-5 on Tuesday night to move into a three-way tie for the two NL wild cards.Wainwright credits inching just a little bit closer for his newfound prowess at the plate.My whole career, Ive fought trying to pull the ball and tried to stay up the middle and hit the ball to right field. It just doesnt work for me very well, explained Wainwright, who has 18 RBI this season. If its a pitch in the strike zone, Im going to swing at it.The free-swinging Wainwright lined a two-run double in the second inning and brought in two more with a bloop single in the fifth. Matt Adams and Jedd Gyorko homered for the Cardinals, now even with the Mets and Giants in the race for the final two NL playoff spots.The 35-year-old Wainwright (12-9) didnt have his sharpest command, yielding solo homers to Daniel Descalso, Charlie Blackmon and Gerardo Parra. But the right-hander was sharp enough -- especially his curveball -- as he gave up four runs in 5 1/3 innings.In a park like this, in a place where no lead is safe, a pitcher, if you can go out there and push something across ... youre doing your job, Wainwright explained.Jorge De La Rosa (8-9) struggled through what could be his final start in a Rockies uniform. The winningest pitcher in team history allowed eight runs -- seven earned -- in 4 2/3 innings. His contract expires after this season.It looked like he just didnt have a lot of depth to his stuff, Rockies manager Walt Weiss said.Wainwright became the second straight Cardinals pitcher to play a starring role at the plate. Carlos Martinez had a two-run double in a 5-3 win on Monday.These days, Cardinals manager Mike Matheny just cant help but scoreboard-watch. Its hard to miss, since the scores are posted on the right-field fence and he stares at it from the dugout.And yes, he saw it when the Mets game went final.Just keep playing our game, Matheny said. Not get caught up.Adams had a solo homer in the second and Gyorko added a two-run shot in the fourth -- a 452-foot no-doubter to center. Gyorko has 27 homers this season.DJ LeMahieus average remained at .349 after he went 1 for 3 with a double. He holds a slight lead over Washingtons Daniel Murphy in the NL batting race. Murphy is hitting .347.TRAINERS ROOMCardinals: OF Matt Holliday (broken right thumb) said of his potential return: I will be ready as fast as I can. To put a date on it doesnt make sense. ... INF Matt Carpenter got the night off.Rockies: Third base coach Stu Cole was hit in the head by a ball that caromed off another during batting practice. He checked out OK after being taken to the hospital. The Rockies moved Eric Young over to coach third, and Vinny Castilla served as the first base coach.MIGHTY BLOWHolliday good-naturedly admitted he hasnt received a bill for breaking the glass at a burger joint behind the left-field seats during batting practice Monday.Then again, the restaurant -- Helton Burger Shack -- does bear the name of his good friend, longtime Rockies first baseman Todd Helton.Hollidays drive shattered the window pane protecting the prep area.That was collateral damage, joked Holliday, who was with the Rockies from 2004-08. Maybe now they will put in Plexiglas.THIS & THATWainwright has 133 wins and is one from tying Dizzy Dean for sixth on St. Louis career list. ... Randal Grichuk had three hits, including two doubles, and scored four times. ... De La Rosa is 53-20 with a 4.31 ERA at Coors Field in 106 games with Colorado, including 99 starts. Hes the poster boy for showing that you can pitch in an offensive park here at altitude, Weiss said.UP NEXTThe Cardinals will send RHP Luke Weaver (1-3, 3.21 ERA) to the mound in the series finale Wednesday. The Rockies counter with righty German Marquez (0-0), who will make his first major league start after three relief appearances.

Alex McKinnons lawsuit against the NRL and Jordan McLean over a tackle that left him paralysed will open up a can of worms, says Cronulla captain Paul Gallen.He believes other players now fear similar legal action, News Corp reported on Tuesday. McKinnon is preparing to launch legal proceedings against the NRL and Melbourne forward McLean over the 2014 tackle which left him wheelchair bound.The 24-year-old former Newcastle second-rowers career ended after a three-man tackle involving McLean, who was suspended for seven weeks.Gallen told News Corp if someone was allowed to sue someone for getting injured on the field it will open up a real can of worms.It will be something players will be concerned about, for sure, especially if you are allowed to sue individuals, Gallen said.I still think everyone will go into a tackle as hard and fierce as evver, to be honest with you.ddddddddddddGallen said the tackle incident was just a dreadful, dreadful accident.Rugby League Players Association chief executive Ian Prendergast said McKinnon was entitled to pursue his legal rights and it was important to let that play out without pre-judging the outcome.McKinnon received the maximum $500,000 compensation payout from the NRL, around $1.2 million through fundraising efforts and was paid out the final two years of his Knights contract, estimated to be around $500,000.He was also guaranteed a job for life by the NRL and works with the club in recruitment and development.However he estimated it will cost him $20 million to lead a normal existence for the rest of his life.
