Adam Wainwright surrendered four runs on seven hits in the St. Louis Cardinals’ 8-2 loss to the Washington Nationals earlier this afternoon.
Working with a 2-0 lead, Wainwright surrendered a hit in each of the first three innings, but managed to post zeros in all three frames.
In the fourth, following a leadoff single and hit by pitch, Nationals outfielder Michael Taylor drove in two with a double to left, squaring the score at 2-2.
With one out in the fifth, Wainwright allowed back-to-back hits to Bryce Harper and Ryan Zimmerman before exiting.
