Cardinals starter Michael Wacha was not at his best, but did enough to come away with his fourth win of the season Tuesday night at home against Philadelphia.
Wacha (4-0) allowed a run-scoring double to Odubel Herrera and a run-scoring single to Chase Utley in the third inning before allowing another pair of runs to score in the fifth inning. He permitted four runs on six hits and two walks while striking out four over 5 2/3 innings of an 11-5 victory.
Wacha owns a 2.42 ERA, a 1.04 WHIP and 16 strikeouts over 26 innings in four starts to start the season. He will look to go after win No. 5 vs. Pittsburgh on Sunday.
