Adam Wainwright limited the Pirates to one run on three hits and no walks over seven innings in Thursday's 9-1 win over the Pirates. He notched nine strikeouts. Wainwright left a fastball over the plate that Pedro Alvarez hit out in the fifth, but he was otherwise in total control, throwing nasty curveball after nasty curveball. The righty tossed 105 pitches over his seven frames before Carlos Martinez and Trevor Rosenthal mowed down the Bucs in the final two innings. Waino is in line to pitch again in Game 5, if necessary.
