Cardinals pitcher Michael Wacha earned a win on Thursday, giving up just one earned run on seven hits in seven innings while striking out five and walking none in his team's 7-1 victory over the Dodgers.
Wacha (8-1) took his first loss of the season in his previous outing, but he bounced back nicely on Thursday. He limited the potent Dodgers offense to just a run-scoring sacrifice fly in the sixth inning.
Wacha owns a 2.18 ERA and 47:17 K:BB ratio in 70 1/3 innings. He's in line to face the Rockies in Colorado on Tuesday.
