Disappointment – Johan Oviedo

In his first outing with the Cardinals this season, Oviedo failed again to earn his first major league victory after starting Saturday’s day game.

He is 0-1 after five innings pitched, giving up eight hits, three walks, and three earned runs. He strikes out five. He did induce 12 swings and misses.

He seemed flustered after a balk was called on him and this went downhill from there.

Disappointment – Jake Woodford

Unable to figure it out, Woodford looked terribly frustrated and appeared to be letting himself have it after each hitting while walking back to the dugout.

Woodford pitched three innings, giving up five hits, a walk, and three earned runs. He induced four swings and misses.

Woodford was sent back to Memphis on Sunday as Jake Walsh was recalled.
