Gio Gallegos seeks 'confidence'; Steve Matz needs MRI; Drew Rom nears surgery: Cardinals Extra

Gio Gallegos seeks 'confidence'; Steve Matz needs MRI; Drew Rom nears surgery: Cardinals Extra

A day after getting what the Cardinals want to find more of for him (appearances) but not enough of what they need from him (outs), Giovanny Gallegos spent time with assistant pitching coach Julio Rangel discussing where and how he could make changes. Gallegos detailed the list. The Cardinals' stalwart setup man and sometimes closer, Gallegos faced four batters in Tuesday's doubleheader, allowed four runs and did not retire a batter. As other relievers have seized on late-inning roles, Gallegos has struggled to find a foothold in the new-look bullpen, just as the Cardinals had not found consistent innings for the right-hander.
