JASON MOTTE RUMORS & GOSSIP

Lynn shows he has enough for more than an inning at a time

Right-hander Lance Lynn, an important part of the St. Louis Cardinals' postseason puzzle last year, was earmarked to be the Cardinals' eighth-inning pitcher this year, setting up right-hander Jason Motte. Lynn is missed in that role as the Cardinals' bullpen has blown eight saves and suffered eight losses in 11 decisions, but he is needed elsewhere. When right-hander...

LaHair Wins Motte’s 12-Pitch Battle

With a two-out, two-run walk-off single off St. Louis closer Jason Motte, the Cubs’ Joe Mather became Monday night’s unlikeliest hero.
