ARLINGTON, Texas — Matthew Liberatore earned a shot in the Cardinals' starting pitching rotation, and he’ll continue to get chances to show he deserves to hold on to his spot.
Tuesday night was just a tough night for him to make his case against a really tough opponent.
The left-hander who’d been a class of the Cardinals' minor-league pitchers leading up to his promotion last month, Liberatore took his second consecutive loss as the Cardinals lost their fifth game in a row, 6-4, to the Texas Rangers in the second game of their three-game set at Globe Life Field.
