Again and again Wednesday night, the seesaw nature of the late innings at Busch Stadium allowed Cardinals manager Mike Matheny new ways to test and audition the reorganized look of his bullpen. He went to Kevin Siegrist early, he utilized Seung Hwan Oh when tied in the 10th inning, and even reassigned closer Trevor Rosenthal handled a key inning.
A game that saw starter Carlos Martinez sizzle before both sides allowed it to be determined by the bullpens would have been if not for the errors that sabotaged the Cardinals just enough to lose.
Home is where the hurt is.
