Wacha allowed two runs on five hits and two walks across six innings en route to a no-decision in Sunday's start against the Braves. He struck out six.
Wacha cruised into the sixth inning, but he labored a bit and allowed two runs on four consecutive hits before getting a double-play ball to escape the jam. He was removed prior to the seventh with a two-run lead but saw his third win of the season fade away as the bullpen surrendered a pair of late runs. Still, Wacha has delivered a quality start in five of his six outings this season and carries a solid 3.19 ERA, which he has supplemented with a useful 8.3 K/9. He will look to continue what has been a nice start to the campaign Saturday against the Cubs.
