Cardinals blossoming right-hander Michael Wacha performed in his regular season tuneup Thursday as he has throughout spring training. That is, spectacularly.
Wacha dominated a Miami lineup loaded with starters to the tune of one earned run on four hits and six strikeouts in five innings. He walked one and maintained his spring ERA at 1.77.
He is slated to serve as the second starter for the defending National League champions behind ace Adam Wainwright.
