MILWAUKEE -- The Cardinals have spent recent weeks watching their rotation, which has carried them through an injury-plagued first half, crumble. Alex Reyes will not pitch again this season. On Thursday, they placed Michael Wacha on the disabled list. All told, it's been 10 days since a Cardinals starter earned a win, and seven weeks since Carlos Martinez, their ace, did.
Martinez's latest unraveling was at the nexus of an ugly 11-3 defeat to the Brewers at Miller Park on Thursday, when the right-hander spiraled for the fourth time in four outings.
