Adam Wainwright was in his bag tonight. Without throwing a perfect game or no-hitter, it is difficult to have a much better outing than Wainwright did against the Pirates in this game. He tossed a complete game on 88 pitches. His mound opponent, Wil Crowe, threw just four fewer pitches over 4.2 innings. Wainwright struck out seven hitters, walked zero, and allowed just two hits. Both came from Colin Moran, one of which was a fluky infield single. If you’re a fan of the game score stat, Wainwright’s mark of 90 would tie him for the 13th best outing of the season.
