Wainwright's back: He fans 7 in 7 innings as Cards win 5-2

Wainwright didn't have much trouble to pitch out of, but when he did, he got through it. The Diamondbacks had runners on first and third with two out in the third and he got Ketel Marte to fly out. After the first two hitters reach base in the sixth, he retired Arizona's 3-4-5 hitters in order. After that, he went back out to pitch the seventh and retired the side in order. Dominic Leone pitched a scoreless eighth before John Brebbia allowed Arizona to score twice with two out in the ninth. Carlos Martinez came in to get the final out and pick up a save.
