The St. Louis Cardinals have reached a one-year extension with ace Adam Wainwright for 2022, it was announced Friday.
Terms of the deal were not yet available.
The right hander has had a solid 2021 campaign and will start the National League wild-card game for the Cardinals next week. He’s 17-7 with a 3.05 ERA in 32 starts, including three complete games and a shutout. His 206 innings pitched so far are the most for him since 2014.
Wainwright has won 10 of his past 11 decisions with 11 quality starts during that span.
