Mathews' Grit Saves Cardinals' Bullpen | St. Louis Cardinals News

Quinn Mathews didn’t just survive a brutal Philly pounding—he turned it into a bullpen lifeline. After giving up seven runs in five innings, he retired eight of the last nine batters, forcing the Cardinals to use just one reliever and preserving arms for Kyle Leahy and the rest of the rotation. His three strikeouts of Bryce Harper—plus that homer later—showed flashes of growth. In a loss, Mathews delivered a win: grit that kept the bullpen intact and the team’s playoff hopes alive.
