Cardinals pitcher Michael Wacha only allowed one run in Thursday’s 4-1 victory over the Nationals.
Wacha had a superb game, keeping Nationals batters to just five hits in seven innings. He struck out six batters and only walked two. Wacha’s ERA is now at 1.33 for the season.
"He's just becoming a more versatile pitcher and that makes him less predictable," Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said, via MLB.com. "I think that's what takes a young pitcher to the next level."
Wacha is now 3-0 this season.
Wacha’s next projected start is on April 28 against the Phillies.
