“That was one of those days he’s going to want to forget,” Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. “That was a rough go right from the start.

“It’s always one of those possibilities for every guy. You don’t have a good feel, you don’t have a good feel for the strike zone and it can happen in a hurry. And it did.”

The St. Louis Cardinals are 12-13 at home. There’s always the next game!
