Emmet Sheehan faced the St. Louis Cardinals, pitching 4.2 innings and allowing four runs on eight hits. He struck out eight but balked, allowing a run. Sheehan acknowledged a mental mistake in not declaring a switch to the stretch. He also allowed a two-run homer to Nolan Gorman and another home run to Alec Burelson. His velocity was down nearly 1 mph from his season average, attributed to mechanical issues, though he feels 100% healthy and is working to improve.
"I didn't share that I was switching to the stretch. I know the rule. It was just in the moment, I didn't declare. Yeah, unacceptable."
"Yeah, maybe a little bit. Just got to have better execution on that fastball to Gorman. Other than that, just frustrating. Stuff wasn't where it should be."
"There's nothing I can point to and say, 'Hey, this is the reason.'"
