Cardinals starting pitcher Michael Wacha tossed seven shutout innings in a 9-2 win over the Pirates Sunday.
Wacha was efficient in pitching to contact, as he limited the Pirates to just two hits while striking out only two hitters. He also walked two, while throwing 97 pitches.
Wacha is now 3-0 with a 2.70 ERA through his first 46 1/3 innings. Wacha's next start is scheduled for Saturday against the Mariners.
