Adam Wainwright pitched seven scoreless innings against the Rays on Tuesday, allowing seven hits in the victory. Wainwright battled for most of the night, as he lacked his best stuff on this day. The right-hander struck out just two and had to work out of a jam with runners on second and third with one out in the fourth inning. Even without his A game, the struggling Rays were unable to take advantage, giving Wainwright his ninth win of the season. The Cardinals' ace will take a 2.15 ERA and 0.93 WHIP into Sunday's tilt with the Nationals.
