Hurston Waldrep pitched decently in a no-decision against the Cardinals on Thursday night, giving up three runs on five hits over 5 1/3 innings.
Waldrep punched out four opposing hitters in the contest while issuing one free pass. All of the damage against him came on a three-run blast by Jordan Walker in the opening inning. Waldrep settled in beautifully afterwards though, keeping the Cardinals off the board into the sixth. He exited with a 5-3 lead and in line for a victory, but the Braves’ bullpen couldn’t oblige. He generated nine whiffs on 76 pitches, posting a solid CSW of 32 percent. That should be good enough to earn him another start against the Pirates in Pittsburgh next week.
