Cardinals right-hander Michael Wacha was brilliant in his start against the Reds on Thursday. Wacha blanked the Reds over seven shutout innings. He scattered four hits and walked two while striking out six in the 3-0 victory.
This makes back-to-back seven-inning shutouts for Wacha, who lowered his ERA to 2.92 after Thursday's strong outing.
"It's all about getting in that routine out there on the mound and getting in that rhythm," said Wacha, per MLB.com. "I found it out there and was able to throw a lot of strikes and get a lot of early outs."
