As their record stood at 3-9 after being swept by the New York Yankees, arguably the most disappointing facet in the St. Louis Cardinals‘ game was their relief pitching.
Closer Seung-Hwan Oh still hadn’t recorded a save. Trevor Rosenthal had just returned from the disabled list. Kevin Siegrist had struggled with command. Brett Cecil had been hit around a couple of times. Matt Bowman had been the Cardinals’ most reliable arm out of the bullpen.
Since being swept in the Bronx, the Cardinals’ relief corps has stabilized.
