ST. LOUIS -- The nightmarish weekend that closer Trevor Rosenthal endured in Pittsburgh last month was out of his mind, he said, when he took the mound on Tuesday to face the Pirates for the first time since that series.
But whether he categorized it as such or not, Rosenthal did enjoy a bit of redemption with Tuesday's performance, striking out the side to notch his 34th save and seal the team's 4-3 win. It was the sixth time this season he collected a save by striking out all three batters faced, and a far cry from the performances he had in Pittsburgh just before the All-Star break.
