Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said after Wednesday's Game 1 loss to the Red Sox that he has not ruled out using Game 1 starter Adam Wainwright on short rest in Game 4 of the World Series Sunday.
It would be Wainwright's first time starting a game on three days' rest but the Cardinals may want him out there if the series continues to head south. He surrendered five runs (three earned) in Wednesday's loss after giving up just four earned runs over 23 innings in his previous three postseason starts.
