JUPITER, Fla. • On a team without a designated closer, the Cardinals have had a flock of righthanded relievers come to the forefront this spring. For example, Matt Bowman is scoreless in four outings, as are John Brebbia, Josh Lucas and young Derian Gonzalez.
Sam Tuivailala is unscored on in three games. Mike Mayers has given up two hits and no runs in five innings. Dominic Leone has allowed one run in three games and John Gant has an earned run average of 2.16. Bud Norris, who had 19 saves for the Los Angeles Angels last year, could turn up late, too.
