Cardinals pitcher Michael Wacha delivered a win Tuesday, giving up just one earned run on five hits and two walks in six innings and striking out seven in his team's 5-3 victory over the Mets.
Wacha (5-5) surrendered a fourth-inning solo home run, which was his first home run surrendered in the last six starts, but was otherwise excellent in shutting down the Mets. He owns a 2.79 ERA and 83:26 K:BB ratio in 90 1/3 innings. Wacha is scheduled to square off with the Phillies Sunday.
