Cardinals manager Mike Matheny told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that he is planning to use Shelby Miller as a long reliever in the World Series. Miller did not pitch during the six-game National League Championship Series, but he was being saved in the event that the team needed a long reliever.
Cardinals general manager John Mozeliak said that the team is not trying to conserve the rookie's innings, as he could still pitch 14 more innings without being overworked.
