Cardinals starting pitcher Adam Wainwright was roughed up a bit during Saturday's contest against the Brewers. Wainwright, who made his seventh start, allowed a season-high five runs on 11 hits over just 5 1/3 innings of work in a 7-6 win.
The right-hander did not get off to a great start, surrendering a leadoff single to Norichika Aoki before Jean Segura roped the next pitch he threw over the center-field fence for a two-run homer -- the first long ball the the right-hander has surrendered.
Wainwright was able to settle down until he ran into more trouble in the sixth. He allowed a solo home run to Carlos Gomez and then a two-run single to Jonathan Lucroy, which chased him from the game.
However, the Cardinals were able to re-take the lead in the seventh, taking Wainwright off the hook for the loss. He finished with five strikeouts and did not issue a walk, while earning his first no-decision of the year.
Wainwright is scheduled to face the Rockies at home next Saturday.
