Wainwright (7-4) gave up two earned runs on six hits and two walks over five innings in Sunday's 6-5 win over the Phillies. He also hit a batter and struck out four.
Following a rough outing against the Reds last Tuesday, Wainwright bounced back with a solid effort, albeit one that featured a higher-than-ideal pitch count. The veteran right-hander was pulled after 84 pitches but did enough to notch his seventh victory in his last eight decisions. Wainwright has allowed two earned runs or fewer in five of his last six trips to the mound, thanks in large part to limiting the long ball, as he's given up just one home run over that span. He'll look to keep the momentum going when he takes on the Orioles on the road Friday.
