Cardinals' Michael Wacha: Will start Saturday
Wacha will start Saturday's game against the Pirates, MLB.com's Jenifer Langosch reports.
Analysis:
Wacha was hammered for seven earned runs over 2.2 innings his last time out, but manager Mike Matheny decided he was the best option to start Saturday in what will be a key game for the Cardinals' chances of reaching the postseason. While Wacha will start, he figures to be on a short leash if he runs into trouble like he did in his previous outing.
