Wainwright (1-3) picked up his first win of the season Wednesday despite allowing the Diamondbacks to score four runs on seven hits and a walk in 5.1 innings. He struck out five.
EDGE Analysis
Despite the ugly line, there are some positives to point to here, including Wainwright striking out as many in this start as he had in any two prior outings this season combined. No one who drafted him saw his current 7.16 ERA coming, but fantasy owners would be well advised to stay patient with Wainwright rather than cutting ties for the waiver-wire flavor of the week -- he simply has too long a track record of success to ignore.
