Adam Wainwright and Wednesday’s bullpen

Wainwright stepped up a pitched a gem Wednesday night. It was a much needed outing from the team’s ace. Wainwright is now 7-8 after going seven innings, giving up five hits and one earned run. He struck out eight batters and induced 15 swings and misses.

Wainwright looked great mixing up his pitches, keeping Blue Jays batters on their toes.

Giovanny Gallegos pitched an inning, striking out one and inducing two swings and misses. Ryan Helsley pitched the final inning, striking out two and inducing five swings and misses. Helsley’s velocity topped out at 101 mph.

It was a great effort from the bullpen’s big arms.
