Cardinals' Adam Wainwright: Goes unrewarded for quality outing

Wainwright struck out eight without a walk while allowing two runs on seven hits over six innings Thursday against the Padres.

Analysis:

He actually left the game trailing thanks to the two-run rally the Padres pieced together in the fifth inning, but the Cardinals' offense bailed him out. This has been a tough year for Wainwright on the whole, but he's really turned the page in July, allowing only three runs over 29 innings (0.93 ERA) with a terrific 27:5 K:BB spanning four starts this month. Start him with confidence moving forward.
