Cardinals pitcher Adam Wainwright did not have his best swing-and-miss stuff Tuesday against the Rays, but still shut the offense down in a 1-0 win.
Wainwright tossed seven shutout innings, despite striking out just two batters. He also recorded just six ground ball outs, his second-lowest total of the season, but still managed to keep the Rays off the board. He scattered seven hits and a pair of walks, while throw 92 pitches in the win.
Wainwright won his ninth decision of the season, and became the first pitcher in the majors to reach 100 innings on the season. He is currently 9-3 while ranking fifth in the NL with a 2.15 ERA heading into his next outing, Monday against the Mets.
