Wainwright allowed zero runs on five hits across 6.0 innings and earned the win Thursday against the Pirates. He struck out six and didn't record a walk.

Wainwright earned the Opening Day nod with Jack Flaherty (shoulder) sidelined and showed he's still got it. The 40-year-old has enjoyed a nice late-career resurgence over the past two seasons, notching a 3.08 ERA and 1.06 WHIP across 42 starts since the start of the 2020 campaign, prior to Thursday's stellar outing.
