Wacha (3-7) picked up the win against the Cubs in Wednesday's matinee. He allowed two runs on three hits over 6.2 innings while walking two and striking out five.
Wednesday marked the right-hander's first win in nearly two months. Wacha had allowed just two hits until rookie Wilson Contreras hit a two-run homer in the seventh that ended his day. The Cardinals 2012 first-round pick had a rough stretch from mid-May to early June, but he's rebounded nicely by picking up three straight quality starts while posting a 2.11 ERA during the streak. Wacha's next start will be in Kansas City on Tuesday.
