Cardinals emerging right-hander Michael Wacha showed again Saturday why he is among the most promising pitchers in the game. He certainly showed the Astros, who flailed away to the tune of eight strikeouts in seven fine innings.
Wacha surrendered just two runs to raise his spring mark to 3-0 and lower his ERA to 1.76. He walked none, but was nicked by a home run off the bat of Jose Altuve.
