Adam Wainwright yielded two runs over seven innings in Saturday's win over the Royals. Wainwright scattered six hits while striking out four and walking one. He held the Royals scoreless until giving up two runs in the bottom of the sixth. Wainwright has endured some ups and downs in his first season back from Tommy John surgery, but he has allowed three earned runs or less in seven out of his last eight starts, lowering his ERA from 6.16 to 4.32 in the process. We think he'll continue to get better as the season moves along. He'll get the Pirates next week.
