Wainwright struck out seven and walked one in the victory and holds a brilliant 2.30 ERA and 55/4 K/BB ratio in 58 2/3 innings over his first eight starts this season. He's looking like a Cy Young contender early on.

It was by far Wainwright's worst start of the season, but the St. Louis offense was relentless and ultimately bailed him out.

But, until we hear differently, Waino should be fine for his next start.
