EDGE Analysis

Mayers gave manager Mike Matheny some valuable innings to close out the game after five other relievers had taken the mound before him. The 26-year-old right-hander had just been called up earlier in the day in the wake of Dominic Leone's placement on the disabled list due to a biceps injury, his third stint with the big-league club this season. Mayers has been effective with the Redbirds over his first four appearances at the Triple-A level, and he's now generated an impressive 1.86 ERA across five trips to the mound with the Cardinals, as well.
