St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Steven Matz developed a more aggressive mindset during his midseason demotion to the bullpen.
Matz will try to build upon his newfound success as a starter when the Cardinals host the Colorado Rockies on Saturday in the middle contest of a three-game series.Matz earned a 3-0 victory over the Chicago Cubs on Sunday in his most recent start. He allowed just four hits, struck out two and did not walk a batter in six innings.
That success is critical for the Cardinals, since Matz and Miles Mikolas are the only established big-league starting pitchers the Cardinals have under contract for next season. The Rockies will counter with left-hander Ty Blach , who is trying to establish himself in the rotation in his second season since recovering from Tommy John surgery.
Blach has gained more movement on his pitches, thanks to the work he did with his personal pitching coach after the Rockies designated him for assignment. Improved work at Triple-A Albuquerque earned him another shot at the big leagues this season.
