I hope Waino uses a couple curveball speeds. He seemed to do his best last year when used a harder and slower curve.
1. Kolten Wong (L) 2B
2. Tommy Pham (R) CF
3. Paul DeJong (R) SS
4. Carson Kelly (R) C
5. Patrick Wisdom (R) 1B
6. Greg Garcia (L) 3B
7. Harrison Bader (R) RF
8. Andrew Knizner (R) DH
9. Oscar Mercado (R) LFWainwright worked 3 2/3 innings. He put the leadoff batter on in each of the first three innings but mostly avoided trouble. He allowed one run on three hits, two walks and four Ks. Radio discussion about a new cutter making a difference for him. Score 1-1 through four innings.
Generally speaking, when a pitcher has a higher WHIP than ERA, there may be rough waters ahead. Wainwright’s spring WHIP is 2.11, compared to his 1.59 ERA. Only two starts, though…
The Cards came back with three runs late on big hits by Valera and Pena to win 4-3. Earlier, Greg Garcia homered off Scherzer. Team is now 5-6-2 on the spring.
Wainwright says he had better command today than in first start. "Worked down better. Last time I wanted to see what the top of the zone was doing. Today I tried to do both. Did down good, missed a little more than I wanted to when I went up." Finished with 63 pitches. #STLCards
