NLDS Game Two: Pirates (0-1) @ Cardinals (1-0)

It’s early on this Friday, but there is already news coming out of the #STLCards clubhouse. Manager Mike Matheny announced that it will be Michael Wacha starting the if-necessary Game 4 on Monday. Matheny said he went with Wacha over fellow rookie Shelby Miller mostly because of how well Wacha has pitched lately. You’ll remember that he is coming off a near no-hitter in his final regular-season start. A lesser factor, but one nonetheless, is that Miller didn’t pitch all that well in his for starts against Pittsburgh this year.
