PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. • The Cardinals scored 10 runs or more for the third game in succession today, pummeling the New York Mets 12-4. But the bigger story may have been the pitching of young righthander Michael Wacha.

The 6-foot-6 Wacha, the club’s top draft pick last year, struck out three and allowed just one hit over two innings in his spring training debut last Saturday. He was even better today, striking out five and giving up one hit over three innings. His totals for the spring are five innings pitched, two hits allowed, eight strikeouts, no walks.

“That guy can pitch in the big leagues right now,” said five-time Gold Glove catcher Yadier Molina.
