JUPITER, Fla. -- Despite a few rough outings from his starting pitchers, Cardinals manager Mike Matheny isn't overly concerned -- not at this point in Spring Training anyway.
Carlos Martinez had a rocky first outing, walking three in 1 1/3 innings of work. Jack Flaherty owns a 9.00 ERA over two starts this spring, and that's better than either Bud Norris (14.54) -- over one start and one relief appearance -- and Miles Mikolas (19.29) over two starts.
"Obviously, guys are trying to get ready for the season," Matheny said Sunday morning.
