Adam Wainwright stifled the Cubs offense in Saturday's victory, scattering just two hits and a walk over 5 1/3 scoreless innings.
Wainwright recorded five strikeouts in the ballgame, which provided a nice tune-up heading into the postseason. The 32-year-old has completely reverted to pre-injury form this season, posting a stellar 19-9 record, 2.94 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 219/35 K/BB ratio over 241 2/3 innings. If not for the sheer dominance of Clayton Kershaw this season, Wainwright would garner serious consideration for the National League Cy Young award.
