Wainwright did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing six runs on eight hits and four walks over four innings against the Yankees. He struck out five.
EDGE Analysis
The St. Louis veteran was uncharacteristically wild and ineffective Sunday, surrendering four walks for just the third time this season and allowing nine other runners to reach base. Wainwright avoided the loss thanks to a strong offensive showing by the Cardinals, but the start ballooned his ERA from 3.11 to 3.42. He'll try to get back on track against the Brewers next weekend.

Wainwright (8-8) allowed six hits and hit one batter while striking out four over seven shutout innings to earn the win Tuesday over the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
Wainwright was at his best Tuesday, throwing 67 of 106 pitches for strikes. This is his fourth start of at least seven innings with no runs allowed this year. The 40-year-old righty trimmed his ERA to 3.11 with a 1.19 WHIP and 103:34 K:BB through 130.1 innings in 21 starts this year. Wainwright is tentatively projected for a tough home start versus the Yankees this weekend, though it's unclear if the Cardinals will roll with a five- or six-man rotation after adding Jose Qunitana and Jordan Montgomery via trade this week.

Wainwright (7-8) allowed one run on five hits and struck out eight in seven innings, earning the win Wednesday over the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
Wainwright was in firm control, with this being his third start of the year with zero walks. The Blue Jays got their lone run off him in the fourth inning, but the Cardinals quickly responded with a pair of home runs in the fifth to solidify the lead. Wainwright finished July with 14 runs allowed in 32.1 innings, though a seven-run mess against the Reds last week skewed the numbers a bit. The right-hander owns a 3.28 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 99:34 K:BB across 123.1 innings in 20 starts. He's projected for a home start versus the Cubs next week.

Wainwright (6-8) allowed seven earned runs on five hits and three walks while striking out two across 5.1 innings to take the loss Friday against the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
Through his first 13 starts and 79.1 innings of the season, Wainwright allowed only five home runs. After serving up two long balls on Friday, he's now surrendered eight long balls across his most recent six starts and 31.2 frames. Even so, he's maintained a respectable 4.14 ERA in that same six-start span. On the campaign, Wainwright owns a 3.40 ERA and a 91:34 K:BB across 116.1 innings.

Wainwright did not factor in the decision against the Dodgers on Wednesday, allowing four hits and four walks while striking out five over 5.1 innings.
EDGE Analysis
It was a strange outing for the veteran hurler -- though he didn't allow any runs, he needed 114 pitches to get through 5.1 innings, and he issued four walks while hitting two batters. It looked like Wainwright would manage a win when he departed with a five-run lead, but Los Angeles staged a late comeback that left him with a no-decision. The right-hander is 0-2 through three outings in July, though he's posted a 2.70 ERA and 1.10 WHIP over 20 innings during that span.

Wainwright (6-7) gave up two earned runs on five hits and no walks while striking out three over nine innings to take the loss in a 2-0 defeat to the Phillies on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Wainwright pitched his first complete game of 2022 but did not get any run support and was saddled with a tough loss. The two runs he gave up both came as solo home runs off the bat of Alec Bohm. The 40-year-old veteran lowered his ERA to 3.15 with the nine-inning performance and he now has 84:27 K:BB on the season. He will look to follow up with another strong outing next week against the Dodgers.

Wainwright (6-6) allowed four runs on eight hits and a walk while striking out five in 5.2 innings, taking the loss Sunday versus the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
Wainwright wasn't at his best Sunday, but he didn't get any help from his teammates, who mustered only six baserunners (four hits, two walks). This was the third time in his last four starts that Wainwright has failed to secure a quality start. It was also the second time he's allowed multiple home runs in a game this year. The 40-year-old right-hander has surrendered 12 runs in his last 23.2 innings, a rather mediocre stretch. He still has a 3.26 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 81:27 K:BB through 96.2 innings in 16 starts. He'll look to get back on track in a home rematch with the Phillies next weekend.

Wainwright (6-5) picked up the win in Monday's 9-0 rout of the Marlins, allowing seven hits and a walk over seven scoreless innings. He struck out nine.
EDGE Analysis
After a couple shaky performances, the 40-year-old regained his form, posting his second-highest strikeout total of the season en route to his ninth quality start. Wainwright snapped a streak of six straight outings without a win in the process, and he'll carry a 3.07 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 76:26 K:BB through 91 innings into his next start.

Wainwright allowed four runs on seven hits and a walk with seven strikeouts in 4.2 innings Wednesday versus the Brewers. He did not factor in the decision.
EDGE Analysis
This was just the second time all year Wainwright's failed to complete five innings, and both of those games were against the Brewers. He was responsible for solo home runs by Rowdy Tellez and Andrew McCutchen in this contest as well as both runs in the Brewers' fifth-inning rally. The poor start saw Wainwright's ERA tick up to 3.32 with a 1.26 WHIP and 67:25 K:BB across 84 innings overall. He's projected for a more favorable home start versus the Marlins next week.

Wainwright (5-5) allowed four runs on seven hits and a walk with five strikeouts in 6.1 innings, taking the loss Friday versus the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Wainwright had a fairly good start, but he ran into trouble in the seventh inning, and T.J. McFarland couldn't stop the bleeding. Across his last six starts, Wainwright has pitched into the seventh inning five times while allowing 14 runs (13 earned) in 39.1 frames. The 40-year-old has a solid 3.06 ERA with a 1.24 WHIP and 60:24 K:BB across 79.1 innings in 13 starts overall. He's gone five turns through the rotation since his last win, something he'll look to change next week in Milwaukee.
