Cardinals' Adam Wainwright: Posts solid outing

Wainwright (1-0) earned the win Thursday, allowing five runs (two earned) on five hits and three walks over 5.2 innings against the Dodgers. He struck out one.

Wainwright should have made it out of the sixth inning, but a Paul Goldschmidt error allowed the inning to continue and the Dodgers took advantage. An RBI single chased Wainwright before Freddie Freeman hit a grand slam off Genesis Cabrera. Fortunately for Wainwright's ERA and for fantasy managers, none of the three sixth-inning runs charged to him were earned. The 41-year-old has struggled through his first three starts of 2023 with a 5.74 ERA and 1.60 WHIP, and he has just eight strikeouts in 15.2 innings.
