Wainwright (0-1) allowed two runs on three hits and two walks across five innings during Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Cubs. He struck out six.

EDGE Analysis

Wainwright allowed two runs as four straight men reached base in the fourth inning, but he was lights out aside from that particular frame and allowed just two additional baserunners. The veteran posted a disappointing 4.62 ERA while logging 198.2 innings in 2016 and is off to a respectable start to what he hopes will be a bounce-back campaign. He threw 82 pitches in this one and should be expected to bump up his workload in his next start Monday against the Nationals.
