Adam Wainwright was hammered in a no-decision against the Nationals on Friday, allowing six runs on seven hits in just 2 2/3 innings of work. Wainwright struck out five without issuing a free pass in the disappointing outing. The Nationals jumped all over him in the first inning, with a leadoff double from Jayson Werth, RBI triple from Bryce Harper and two-run bomb off the bat of Ryan Zimmerman. It marked the first time in 12 career postseason games that Wainwright had allowed more than one run in an inning. He battled back to strike out the side, but the damage had been done. The Nats' weren't done yet though, as Bryce Harper smashed a solo homer in the third and Mike Morse added a towering two-run shot to chase Wainwright from the game. It's surely would have been a disappointing way to end his season, but an epic rally from the Cardinals' offense saved their season. Wainwright will now get the opportunity to redeem himself when he takes on the Giants in Game 3 of the NLCS.
