5 years agoSt. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Adam Wainwright threw eight shutout innings Sunday in a 2-1 win over the Chicago Cubs. Wainwright allowed just two hits and struck out eight, but also walked seven batters while throwing just 70 of a whopping 126 pitches for strikes. Nonetheless, Wainwright is now 5-5 on the year with a 4.34 ERA. Despite the effective start against a strong lineup, Wainwright has not been a standard league asset for a few years now, and this season is no different. He will face the Cubs again in his next start, this one in Chicago. Stay away from it.--Nathaniel Green
