Adam Wainwright In Search Of Bounce-Back Start Thursday
1 year agoSt. Louis Cardinals pitcher Adam Wainwright is in search of as bounce-back start Thursday as he takes on the Houston Astros in St. Louis. The 41-year-old right-hander was torched for seven earned runs on 11 hits, including two home runs, in a losing effort against the Chicago Cubs his last time out. Wainwright has endured a tough season, working to a 6.56 ERA across nine starts while his 5.37 FIP and 5.63 SIERA both suggest he has indeed struggled. Only once in nine starts has he allowed fewer than three earned runs while he's allowed at least four earned runs in four of his nine starts this season. On a positive note, Wainwright has long been very good at home where he owns a 2.93 ERA for his career while the Astros have slipped to 18th with a .312 wOBA on the season against right-handed pitching.
