Cardinals SP Todd Wellemeyer squandered away a 4-0 lead Wednesday against the Pirates and ended up with a no decision as Pittsburgh rallied for 7-4 win. Wellemeyer blanked the Pirates for three innings and the game was tied in the fifth after Jason Bay’s two-run homer. Wellemeyer was charged with seven hits, four runs and one walk in six innings. He struck out five. Wellemeyer has allowed four or more runs in just two of his five starts this season. He continues to be a surprise arm for the Cardinals, but could be out of a job later this season when some injured arms recover. For now, he is a decent option in larger mixed leagues. His next scheduled start is for Monday against the Reds. Wellemeyes is on track to be a two-start pitcher Fantasy Week 5 (April 28-May 4) with his second start coming against the Cubs. Wellemeyer has been solid early, but will probably struggle over the course of the season if he remains in a starting role, since he’s never pitched a lot of innings at any level.
