Cardinals Think More Work Will Sharpen Trevor Rosenthal

Cardinals closer Trevor Rosenthal made his 19th appearance of the season Friday night in the ninth inning. He entered the game with St. Louis trailing by one run, well within striking distance of a possible rally in the bottom half of the inning.

St. Louis Cardinals general manager John Mozeliak was asked before Friday night's game whether the team would consider using its top pitching prospect, Alex Reyes, in relief later this season. After all, a 100-mph fastball can come in handy, particularly late in a season when hitters are exhausted by the daily grind and the heat.

There is no sugar-coating it. Trevor Rosenthal faced three batters in the ninth inning of the Cardinals' loss to the San Francisco Giants on Friday night, and he walked all three.
