Cardinals RP Carlos Villanueva earns save against old mates
Carlos Villanueva really knows how to rub it in. Not only has he performed far better this season for the St. Louis Cardinals than he ever did for the Cubs, but he shut down the Windy City boys on Saturday. Villanueva earned the save with three shutout innings in which he allowed just one hit. He walked two and fanned three along the way to preserve the 8-1 victory and lower his ERA to 1.17, more than three points lower than what he achieved mostly out of the bullpen for the Cubs. He allowed one baserunner in each inning, but escaped unscathed and allowed closer Trevor Rosenthal to rest.

Cardinals RHP Carlos Villanueva continues fine bullpen work
St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Carlos Villanueva was a savior for manager Mike Matheny on Saturday against the Tigers. After starter Tyler Lyons was lifted with two outs in the fourth inning, Villanueva did all he could to keep his team in the game. He pitched 3 1/3 scoreless innings, allowing four hits and one walk. He also struck out a pair. "Somebody is going to have to pay, and it's the rest of our bullpen that is paying when we can't get our starters very deep in the game," Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said to MLB.com. "It's got to change. We have to figure out how to get it done." The right-hander has thrived in his role as a swingman/long reliever this season. He currently boasts a 0.50 ERA over 10 appearences. It remains to be seen if Villanueva will be moved into the rotation at some point this season.

I know we had a lot of traffic out there, but what matter is that that traffic doesn't advance. Keep bringing the boys back in the dugout and give them a chance to do what they did again today."
