We’ve gone through an entire season of ups and downs with the Cardinals rotation.
Carlos Martinez started - again - with first-inning struggles, quickly pivoting towards success. Luke Weaver began to fulfill the calls of further breakout, only to fall off sharply in his last few outings. The wild card, Miles Mikolas, has ground-balled his way through quality innings.
Then we have Michael Wacha, who aligns with the Carlos Martinez brand of roller coasters, starting with three less-than-ideal outings before re-routing his path back to promise.
