St. Louis currently is in fourth place in the National League Central with a disappointing 14-16 record. The Cardinals are loaded with talent but already are 4 1/2 games behind the first-place Milwaukee Brewers.
One player who has dealt with some struggles lately is starter Steven Matz. He had a strong start to the season and allowed just three earned runs in his first three starts but has allowed 16 earned runs in his last three starts. "Steven Matz was trying to pitch through a lower-back issue that came up between starts," Woo said."Thought the rainout/extra day would be enough to push through it. Explains the quick hook today and the drop in velocity. He’s scheduled for an evaluation tomorrow.
