Adam Wainwright perplexed the Giants in Wednesday's victory, firing 7 2/3 shutout innings despite striking out just one in a 2-0 victory. He scattered four hits and walked two. Wainwright is flat embarrassing major league hitters at the moment, going 3-1 with a 0.93 ERA in five starts since the beginning of last month. St. Louis' ace has placed in the top three in the Cy Young balloting three times already, and is a heavy favorite to do so again. He's first in the National League with 11 wins, third with a 124 innings pitched, ninth with 106 strikeouts, first with a 1.89 ERA, and second with a 0.90 WHIP.
