Cardinals starter Michael Wacha dropped to 9-3 with a loss to Philadelphia on Sunday.
"I guess you could think of [the good starts], but right now it stinks pretty good and you definitely don't want to experience this feeling too many times," Wacha said, per MLB.com.
Wacha gave up five runs, his most since September 9 of last season, on eight hits over five innings. He walked one and struck out seven. Wacha also made a fielding error, his second of the season.
"It was one of those days," manager Mike Matheny said. "He, at times, would find the feel for it. And he was having trouble early on establishing the strike zone with his fastball low. He was getting into hitters counts and having to challenge and they were finding the good part of the bat."
Wacha's next start will be Friday against the Cubs.
