Cardinals starting pitcher Adam Wainwright (13-6) endured another rough outing as he suffered his sixth loss of the season Friday night against the Braves. The right-hander allowed four runs -- three earned -- over seven hits and one walk while striking out eight over seven innings pitched in a 4-1 defeat.

It was his first loss since June 23. Wainwright has allowed three runs in three of his last five starts. He is scheduled to make his next start Wednesday at Pittsburgh. He is 8-2 with a 3.10 ERA in 13 starts away from home this season.
