After dropping 10 consecutive decisions, Cardinals pitcher Adam Wainwright finally got a win.
And it was a significant one last night.
Career victory number 199.
Cardinals beat the Orioles by a score of 5 -2.
It’s been quite the journey for Wainwright.
He was 3 -1 back on June the 17th, his season heading in the right direction.
But those 10 straight losses, his record was 3 -11 heading into last night before earning the win.
And he’ll still have a couple more chances to earn Career Victory 200 before his career comes to an end at the end of the season.
The Royals split a double header with the White Sox last night.
They lose the opener 6 -2 but win a wild one in the nightcap 11 -10.
Michael Massey had a home run.
Royals actually scored 9 runs in the first 3 innings of that ball game.
