Adam Wainwright struggled against the Mets on Friday, allowing seven runs on six hits over 6 1/3 innings of work. Wainwright struck out six and walked three in the game. The Mets strung together a couple of baserunners in the fourth inning to push two runs across, then the crushing blow came courtesy of a three-run blast from Lucas Duda in the sixth inning. He allowed two runners to reach in the seventh inning before being removed, both of which came around to score. Wainwright has pitched better of late, but is still struggling to find consistency from start to start. The loss drops him to 4-6 on the season and raises his ERA back up to 4.98. He'll attempt to put this start behind him and get back on track when he takes on the Astros in Houston on Wednesday.
