ST. LOUIS — With much of the Dodgers’ pitching staff spending more time in the trainer’s room than on the field this season, the team has practically launched a shuttle service to ferry arms between triple-A Oklahoma City and the big leagues.
On Friday it deposited left-hander Justin Wrobleski on the mound at Busch Stadium where he failed to give the Dodgers the lift they needed, yielding four runs in six innings of a 5-0 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals.
The lost was the fourth in six games for the struggling Dodgers (38-26), who have dropped 11 of their last 20, scoring just one run combined in their last two defeats.
