Cardinals closer Trevor Rosenthal did not pitch in the All-Star Game because of a sore arm.

Rosenthal woke up with soreness Tuesday morning and elected not to play in the game.

"I really wanted to be able to pitch in the game, but I knew going into Sunday's game that if I pitched on Sunday, it would probably be harder to justify pitching today," Rosenthal told Cardinals.com. "I'm trying, first and foremost to help out our team in St. Louis."
