Cardinals starting pitcher Adam Wainwright wasn't sharp in his last trip to the mound, but came back strong in a 7-1 win over the Braves Wednesday.
Wainwright limited the Braves to just one run in eight innings of work, and never trailed thanks to an offensive explosion. He scattered six hits and a walk in eight innings, while striking out six and picking up 11 groundball outs.
Wainwright is now 6-2 on the season through eight starts, with a 2.02 ERA in 58 innings of work. He will try to continue his strong pitcher in his next start, Tuesday against the Cubs.
