Stellar start in blowout win Wainwright (9-8) earned the win Thursday, allowing three hits over seven scoreless innings against the Rockies. He struck out seven without walking a batter. Impact The Cardinals scored multiple runs in four of the first five innings, including a five-run third, but Wainwright's pitching effort was as impressive as the team's offensive outburst. The veteran tossed seven scoreless for the fifth time this season and struck out at least seven for the third time in his last five starts. During that stretch, Wainwright is sporting a 2.12 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and a 32:5 K:BB across 34 innings. His next start is tentatively scheduled for the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Cubs.
