Standout – Adam Wainwright

It was Wainwright’s 315 game with batterymate Yadier Molina. On ESPN Sunday Night Baseball. Against the Chicago Cubs. Expectations were high, for sure.

Wainwright struggled early but ultimately pitched seven innings, giving up nine hits, two walks, and two earned runs. While he did not have a strike out on the night, he did induce 10 swings and misses.
