Dominates Cleveland Wainwright (3-0) allowed two earned runs on four hits and two walks while striking out nine across nine innings to earn the win Sunday against Cleveland.
Impact Wainwright logged 122 pitches to turn in the 23rd complete game of his career and his first in four seasons. He allowed a two-run homer to Tyler Naquin in the second inning, but went on to dominate from there with the only other extra-base hit coming on a ground-rule double from Cesar Hernandez. Wainwright racked up an impressive 31 called strikes while recording his highest strikeout total of the campaign. Overall, Wainwright has now maintained a 2.65 ERA with 25 strikeouts across 34 innings this season. He is in line to draw his next start Saturday at the Cubs.

Seven innings in no-decision Wainwright allowed four runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out four over seven innings in a no-decision against the Royals on Tuesday.
Impact While he didn't come away with the win, Wainwright pitched fairly well, inducing 13 swinging strikes and getting through seven innings on 98 pitches. He has now given up a homer in back-to-back outings, but otherwise Wainwright has been a bright spot for the Cardinals, providing quality innings and valuable length since the team's COVID-19 outbreak. Overall, Wainwright has a 2.88 ERA and 16:6 K:BB in 25 innings. He lines up for a second start this week, Sunday versus Cleveland.

Takes no-decision Wainwright did not factor into the decision against the Reds on Thursday, allowing four runs (two earned) on six hits while striking out four across seven innings.
Impact Two costly defensive errors by Paul Goldschmidt and Brad Miller caused a pair of runs to score in the first inning, putting the Cardinals in an early deficit. Wainwright then gave up a home run to Freddy Galvis in the second, and an RBI double to Mike Moustakas in the third. The right-hander was poised for the loss when he left the game after the seventh, but luckily his offense came through to save him in the end. Wainwright was making only his third start of the season thanks to a 17-day layoff following the Cardinals' COVID-19 outbreak. He'll take on Kansas City on Tuesday.

Impact The Cardinals' COVID-19 outbreak meant that it had been exactly three weeks since Wainwright's last competitive pitch, but the veteran righty showed no signs of rust. He threw just 67 pitches, though that could have been a matter of game flow rather than a lack of stamina, as the seven-inning game meant the Cardinals could turn to high-leverage relievers as early as the sixth inning. The 38-year-old now owns a 1.64 ERA through his first two starts of the year, though his 8:4 K:BB in 11 innings doesn't support that number particularly well.
