There’s been some rumblings out there that Mike Matheny deserves some credit for the way the Cardinals have battled back this season after a slow start. This post isn’t about how Mike Matheny has generally guided the team to a 76-69 record this season. This post is about last night, and the Cardinals’ use of Ryan Sherriff.
The Cardinals faced a 1-0 deficit heading to the top of the fifth inning last night. Jack Flaherty had given up a homer to lead off the game, navigated the second and third innings without issue, striking out three and walking none.
