Cardinals' Matthew Liberatore: Shaky in spot start
Liberatore (2-3) took the loss Wednesday, coughing up five runs on four hits and three walks over three-plus innings as the Cardinals were downed 5-0 by the Pirates. He struck out three.
The southpaw got a spot start at the end of a stretch of six games in five days for St. Louis, but Liberatore hadn't pitched since July 14 and looked rusty as Pittsburgh ambushed him for four runs in the second inning, before he served up a solo shot to Rowdy Tellez to lead off the fourth. Liberatore tossed 69 pitches (43 strikes) before exiting, which will leave him unavailable out of the bullpen for a few more days. Through 55 innings this season, he carries a 4.75 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 44:20 K:BB.

Cardinals' Matthew Liberatore: Drawing start Wednesday
Liberatore will start Wednesday's game against the Pirates at PNC Park, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.
St. Louis already boasts a healthy five-man rotation, but Liberatore will be called upon for a spot start Wednesday since a doubleheader over the weekend created a stretch of six games in five days for the Cardinals. Liberatore hadn't been used out of the bullpen in any of the Cardinals' first five games of the second half, so he should be well rested and capable of giving the club a decent amount of length for what will be his sixth start of the season. Over his previous five starts, Liberatore has turned in a 5.03 ERA and 18:5 K:BB across 19.2 innings.

Cardinals' Nolan Arenado: Homers in Tuesday's win
Arenado went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Pirates.
Arenado showed some veteran savvy, opening the scoring with his fifth-inning solo shot off Pirates wunderkind Paul Skenes. While Arenado is just 3-for-18 over five games since the All-Star break, two of those hits have landed over the fence. The third baseman is up to 10 long balls, 42 RBI, 40 runs scored, 14 doubles and one stolen base while slashing .265/.319/.387 through 95 contests.

Cardinals' Ryan Fernandez: Snags first win
Fernandez (1-2) was perfect over two-thirds of an inning and earned the win Tuesday over the Pirates.
Fernandez was brought into the game after Nick Gonzales' RBI single off JoJo Romero tied the score at 1-1. Fernandez was able to get pinch hitter Ke'Bryan Hayes to ground into a double play to end the eighth inning, and the Cardinals took the lead for good in the ninth. This kind of usage is a further sign that Fernandez has gained trust over the course of his rookie year. He's allowed just four runs (three earned) over 24.2 innings since the start of June and is now at a 2.14 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 45:18 K:BB with a save and 10 holds through 46.1 innings on the year.

Cardinals' Ryan Helsley: Grabs 33rd save
Helsley earned the save in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Pirates, striking out the side in a perfect ninth inning.
Helsley's decision to get some extra rest during the All-Star break appeared to pay off Tuesday. The right-hander struck out the side on just 13 pitches, earning his league-leading 33rd save. Helsley has now delivered nine straight scoreless innings -- he's allowed just five hits while striking out 11 in that span. Overall, his ERA is down to 2.25 across 44 innings this season with a 1.16 WHIP and 53:18 K:BB.

Cardinals' Lance Lynn: Delivers five scoreless frames
Lynn allowed four hits and three walks over five scoreless innings in a no-decision Tuesday against the Pirates. He struck out two.
It didn't come easy for Lynn on Tuesday -- the veteran right-hander had to work out of a pair of bases-loaded jams. Still, Lynn would make it through five innings unscathed in an eventual 2-1 Cardinals victory. The 37-year-old Lynn was tagged for 10 earned runs on July 6 against the Nationals, though he's now held opponents to two runs or fewer in four of his last five outings. Overall, Lynn is 5-4 on the year with a 4.17 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 94:40 K:BB across 101.1 innings. He's currently in line for a home matchup with the Rangers early next week in his next start.
