Cardinals starter Adam Wainwright leads the National League with nine wins despite battling a variety of ailments this year, reports the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. He has pitched through a sore back, the flu, and tendinitis, the report said, adding he's been dealing with head cold-like allergies for a month.
It hasn't stopped him from posting a 2.15 ERA or becoming the first pitcher in the majors to throw 100 innings.
