Seeking to bolster their rotation, the Cardinals have acquired left-handed pitcher Mike Maroth from the Tigers. The Cardinals’ beat-up rotation, which boasts an NL-worst 5.63 ERA, features three former relievers starting for the first time in the big leagues
The Cardinals have been actively dealing this week. Maroth becomes the second pitcher St. Louis has added, after they signed right-hander Tomo Ohka to a minor-league contract on Tuesday.
Maroth is 5-2 with a 5.06 ERA this season.
