Bud Norris (RP - FA)

Bud Norris pitched a scoreless 9th inning in Monday night's loss to the Phillies. He faced four batters and induced two groundouts and one fly out with one walk.

Fantasy Impact
He was able to prevent the Phillies from scoring and took the game to extra innings where it looked like the Cardinals may win on a Tommy Pham homerun. Unfortunately, it was all for naught as the Phillies plated two runs in the bottom of the 10th inning. Norris remains a great closing option when the Cardinals are on top. He has 12 saves on the season and will continue to get chances as Greg Holland has struggled mightily.
