On Thursday night at Busch Stadium, the pair made their 313th start together, three games behind the second-place Milwaukee Braves duo of Warren Spahn and Del Crandall. Molina put his name in the 2022 books by drawing his first two walks of the season after 92 at-bats without one. But Wainwright, falling to the Milwaukee Brewers 4-3, reached a plateau that he hadn’t reached in his previous 50 starts — and didn’t want to reach. The 40-year-old, seeking his fourth consecutive win, allowed double-figure hits (10) for the first time since his final start of the 2019 season when he surrendered 12 hits to the Chicago Cubs. Only three of the four runs Wainwright allowed were earned as shortstop Edmundo Sosa had an uneven night in the field, but Wainwright’s record dropped to 5-4. “It seemed like a lot of hits,” said Wainwright. “Nothing but runners on. Ducks on the pond the whole time. But, sometimes, it’s like that.” His strike-ball ratio was good, 70-30. The issue was that he averaged precisely 20 pitches an inning as he endured only five. “They’ve got a really good approach off me,” said Wainwright. “I need to switch it up a little bit.” [/QUOTE]
