Lucas Sims' line - 5 IP, 5 H, 1 R, 3 BB, 7 K

Too many base runners...particularly walks...but only 1 run scored and he had a good strikeout total. So overall, not bad.

I think it's about time the Cardinals send Wacha back to the minors and get Reyes up here. Simply put, Wacha is a crap pitcher who can't find the strike zone anymore and when he does the pitch is elevated and gets smashed.

It also may be about time the Pirates either DFA or trade Liriano and give Glasnow his shot.
