Svanson heads back to the minors to allow St. Louis to re-stock their bullpen mix with a fresh arm in Gordon Graceffo. The 26-year-old righty threw 34 pitches over 2 2/3 scoreless frames on Friday against Atlanta. He’s posted a strong 3.12 ERA and 24/8 K/BB ratio across 26 innings (17 appearances) this season in low-leverage work. He’ll be back at some point in the early stages of the second half.

He surrendered two homers and struck out just one. Still, this rates as his best outing in weeks, as he’d given up 17 runs over 10 innings in his previous three starts. He had a 3.54 ERA on June 19, but he’s finishing the first half at 4.83, and he’d have to turn it around immediately after the break in order to regain some trade value for the Cardinals.

A single, a sac bunt, another single and an RBI groundout was enough to scratch out a run against Helsley. It’s the first run he’s given up in seven appearances since June 14, and although he’s taken five blown saves this season, this is his first loss.

Gorman got the start today even though the Cardinals were facing a left-handed opener, and he actually hit homer off said opener, Aaron Bummer. He’s batting .182/.288/.386 in 52 plate appearances against lefties. That’s not a disaster, but the real problem is that he’s still only at .230/.316/.414 against righties; he needs to be better with the platoon advantage to justify his spot, especially since he’s not helping defensively.
