Cardinals starting pitcher Adam Wainwright got through seven shutout innings efficiently Tuesday against the Mets, but was pulled from the game after tossing just 79 pitches.
Wainwright landed awkwardly trying to field a batted ball during the seventh inning and left the game without returning. He was diagnosed with a hyperextended right knee shortly after, though no other details are known yet.
Wainwright left the game in line for his fourth win, allowing just four hits in seven innings. He struck out three and walked none, while throwing 54 of 79 pitches for strikes. His next start is set for Sunday against the Pirates, though his status is obviously unknown at this point.
