Wainwright (11-9) gave up four runs on nine hits and three walks with just two strikeouts over 5.2 innings in Thursday's loss to the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Every time Wainwright turns in a strong outing that makes you think he's turning the corner, he follows it up with a dud. This has been the story of Wainwright's season -- strikeouts down, walks up, and a huge spike in hard contact by opposing hitters. That's stopped him from picking up any momentum, and a start in Colorado next week doesn't seem likely to help him turn things around.
