Wainwright (6-5) gave up six runs (four earned) on nine hits and a walk with seven strikeouts over five innings in Monday's loss to the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

Wainwright looked like he was finally entering his old form this month, with four quality starts in his four previous June outings. But this looked like more of the Wainwright who was touched up for a 5.71 ERA over the season's first two months. He was hurt by a pair of Cardinals errors, but his nine hits allowed marked his most in seven starts. He has allowed nine hits or more just five times since 2014, with three of those coming this year.
