Cardinals pitcher Adam Wainwright was brilliant Saturday, pitching seven scoreless innings while surrendering just two hits, walking two and striking out eight in his team's 5-0 victory over the Pirates to earn his 16th win.
Wainwright also added a double at the plate for good measure. The Cardinals ace had struggled in his previous two starts, giving up 15 earned runs in eight innings, but reverted to form Saturday. He takes a 16-9 record, 3.03 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 195:31 K:BB ratio into Friday's start against the Mariners.
