Petit quiets Cards after Vogelsong’s early exit

It had been 11 days since Yusmeiro Petit last pitched, that outing covering six relief innings in the Giants’ 18-inning win in Game 2 of the National League Division Series against the Nationals in Washington. “Every day, I’m staying ready,” Petit said. “I have to throw a little bit every two days. I’m a long reliever and I have to be ready for anything. You never know when you’re needed to throw.”
