Atomic RoadRunners | Andrew Flynn’s High-Energy Fantasy Baseball

Cardinals SP Todd Wellemeyer could not hold an early lead Tuesday against the Mets and ended up taking the 7-4 loss. The Cardinals staked Wellemeyer a 3-1 lead after two innings, but the lead was gone by the fourth inning. Ramon Castro’s two-run double tied it in the fourth, Ryan Church’s RBI highlighted a three-run fourth and David Wright’s homer made it 7-3 in the sixth. Wellemeyer gave up a career-high 12 hits Tuesday and watched his ERA rise to 3.86. He walked two and struck out two. Wellemeyer only retired 11 of the first 24 batters he faced. The Mets punished Wellemeyer, the National League pitcher of the month in May, but he is 1-2 with a 6.52 ERA and two missed turns in the rotation due to elbow woes since receiving the honors. Wellemeyer did pitch five scoreless innings the last time out, but he needs to regain his confidence on the hill shortly or it will be time to bail in Fantasy leagues. Wellemeyer’s next scheduled start is for Sunday against the Cubs. His phenomenal May is fading quite a bit. (Rotowire, CBS Sports)
