Cardinals starting pitcher Adam Wainwright dominated the Reds on Sunday, matching a car-eer-high with 12 strikeouts to improve to on the year.

Wainwright surrendered only five hits and one walk in eight shutout frames. Of his 117 pitches, were strikes. He lowered his ERA from 1.85 to 1.67 following Sunday's victory.

Wainwright has made six starts this season of seven-plus scoreless innings. Over his last four starts covering 31 innings, Wainwright has allowed only three earned runs. He leads the National League in wins, innings (81), and is second in ERA (1.67), WHIP (0.85) and complete games (two). He will look to keep rolling Friday at home against San Francisco.
