Matt Carasiti/Tommy Milone vs. Michael Wacha, 1:10pm
Sorry for the late post; time got away from me this morning. The M’s look for a series win against the Cardinals today with new RP Matt Carasiti opening for Tommy Milone, perhaps the M’s most consistent starting pitcher this year. Last night’s sterling start by Mike Leake was spoiled by an ugly ninth-inning bullpen meltdown, but no single loss – however painful – can really get you down in a season like this.
A year after the Cardinals drafted high-floor, change-up and pitchability lefty Marco Gonzales in the first round, they picked Texas A&M righty pitchability guy Michael Wacha late in the first round.
