Cardinals pitcher Adam Wainwright had a tough start Friday against the Phillies.
Wainwright allowed five runs, four earned, on six hits over six innings. He struck out two and walked three during the outing. The Phillies managed to scratch a run across in the first inning, but really got to Wainwright in the third. Wainwright put the first three batters of the inning on base. A groundout brought in the first run of the inning. A single and sac fly drove in the next two runs. With two outs, Wainwright walked Domonic Brown, and gave up another run on a single.
With the loss, Wainwright dropped to 15-8. He’ll take on the Pirates in his next start.
