Adam Wainwright pitched 7 scoreless innings for the Cardinals last night against the Pirates and lowered his NL leading ERA to a miniscule 1.79 for the season. He hasn’t been scored on in 14 2/3 consecutive innings as of right now.
When is scoreless not good enough?
When Adam Wainwright is on the mound. Looks like he forgot the ‘best stuff’ at home. And everyone on Twitter was there to remind him:

Wainwright doesn't have his best stuff by any means. But he's still gone seven shutout innings. That's the mark of a great pitcher.

Wainwright doesn't have his best stuff tonight and still is pitching a shutout. Too bad Cards only have 1 hit. #STLCards #CyYoung

Wainwright gets a gift and then freezes him. He doesn't have his best stuff tonight, but the umpire is intent on helping him out

Wainwright clearly doesn't have his best stuff tonight, but he's battling. If he can get through 6 they'll be fortunate. Don't push him.

Next time, Adam… bring not good stuff, but your best stuff.
