Adam Wainwright fired eight innings of two-run ball Sunday in the Cardinals' victory over the Padres. He whiffed seven and dispatched two free passes before passing the game off to closer Edward Mujica, who replaced him in the All-Star game. Wainwright, who boasts a 2.44 ERA and 1.02 WHIP, is on pace to finish 22-8 and strike out 231 batters.

Adam Wainwright gave up four runs on eight hits over six innings in Sunday night's win over the Cubs. He allowed one walk and finished with four strikeouts. Wainwright was tagged for a three-run shot to Darwin Barney in the sixth inning, but the Cardinals were able to provide him with plenty of run support for the no-decision. It was just his fourth non-quality start of the season. Wainwright won't pitch in the All-Star game and has been officially replaced by Edward Mujica.

Adam Wainwright fired seven innings of one-run ball Tuesday in the Cardinals' defeat of the Astros. Houston's lineup had no chance. Wainwright yielded just one extra-base hit and one walk while striking out nine. He is 12-5 with a 2.30 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 126/14 K/BB ratio in 140 2/3 innings this season and should keep rolling next time out against the Cubs.

The Cardinals have changed their rotation so that Adam Wainwright will start twice before the All-Star break. Wainwright is expected to pitch Wednesday and Sunday next week after the Cardinals previously had him only scheduled for one start. He now won't be available to pitch if selected as the NL starter in the All-Star Game.

Adam Wainwright allowed four runs in eight-plus innings in a no-decision against the Angels on Thursday. Wainwright was given a chance to finish off his fifth complete game of the season, but he was pulled in the bottom of the ninth inning after he allowed a leadoff single to Albert Pujols. Edward Mujica then gave up the lead on a two-run homer to Josh Hamilton and eventually took the loss. Wainwright scattered seven hits while walking just one batter and striking out three. His ERA went up from 2.22 to 2.36 in the no-decision. He'll hope for better luck next week in a favorable matchup against the Astros at home.

Adam Wainwright threw his fourth complete game of the season on Saturday, limiting the A's to one run as the Cardinals won 7-1. Wainwright actually had a three-hit gem going into the seventh inning before the A's pushed a run across, but he still finished with just five hits and two walks allowed while striking out eight. The right-hander moved to 11-5 with a 2.22 ERA and 0.99 WHIP on the year, and he'd be firmly in the running for the starting pitcher gig in the All-Star game were he not in the same league as Matt Harvey. Still, the Cardinals' ace is having another fantastic season.

Adam Wainwright gave up two runs (one earned) over 6 2/3 innings on Sunday night against the Rangers. He allowed six hits, one walk, and finished with six strikeouts. Coming off his first loss since May 16, Wainwright was able to hold the Rangers to six scoreless innings before giving up his only runs. He was seeking his NL-best 11th victory, but was the victim of poor run support. Wainwright's next start will come on Saturday against the Athletics.

Adam Wainwright was undone by a poor first inning Tuesday, allowing all four runs of his runs in a loss to the Cubs. Waino retired the first two batters of the game before giving up four straight hits -- including back-to-back homers -- and four runs. He was pretty much spotless the rest of the way, shutting the Cubbies out for the next six frames, but by then it was too late. Despite the relatively disappointing showing in a juicy matchup, Wainwright still has a 2.37 ERA and 1.01 WHIP for the season. He gets the Rangers at home this weekend.

Adam Wainwright notched his major-league leading 10th victory Thursday by tossing seven scoreless innings in a 2-1 win over the Mets. Wainwright had no problems with the weak-hitting Mets' lineup, giving up just four hits and a pair of walks while notching six strikeouts. The strong outing pulled his ERA down to 2.18 for the year. Meanwhile, his K/BB ratio sits at a ridiculous 97/7 K/BB ratio over 103 innings. He'll look for win No. 11 next time out in another favorable matchup, this time against the last-place Cubs.

Adam Wainwright notched his ninth win over the season Friday by allowing two runs in seven innings as part of a 9-2 victory over the Reds. He's now tied with Arizona's Patrick Corbin for the NL-lead with nine victories. Wainwright scattered seven hits while walking one and fanning seven. He has allowed three runs or fewer in all but one of his starts this season and has yet to walk more than one batter in any of them. With a 2.34 ERA and a crazy 91/7 K/BB ratio, the Cardinals' ace is looking like one of the early favorites for the NL Cy Young award. He has a favorable matchup against the lowly Mets next week.
