Adam Wainwright

Adam Wainwright took the mound in Thursday’s NL Central Division matchup between the St. Louis Cardinals and Milwaukee Brewers on the brink of history. In the bottom of the fourth inning, the three-time NL All-Star fanned Luis Urias swinging on a devastating breaking ball. With this pitch, Wainwright joined Bob Gibson as the only two players in franchise history to reach 2,000 career strikeouts.
