Manager Mike Matheny stood in his office shortly before the Cardinals' 3-2 walk-off win over the Pirates on Saturday at Busch Stadium, arms folded, and spoke eagerly. The subject was a new bullpen option suddenly at his disposal, one with a profile Matheny described as "different" -- tall, left-handed, with a wipeout hook and the endurance of a starter. He was talking about Austin Gomber.

Post-Dispatch
The weather today may be as much of a factor as the game circumstance in Austin Gomber making his Major League debut. Luke Weaver is scheduled to start for the St. Louis Cardinals, but with rain already falling at Busch Stadium, an extended delay could create the need for another pitcher capable of multiple innings to step in.
