Rosenthal is used to coming in and working a clean frame. Maness is the guy who has been charged with getting out of jams, and he's done a better job of that than he has pitching from an inning's beginning.
Besides, Rosenthal is overworked. Siegrist has looked tremendous so far. He needs more opportunities, and some of those can come in spelling Rosenthal. Blazek also looked fantastic in his short duty Saturday night.
Matheny is coming dangerously close to Joe Torre territory with his pen.

I would have liked to have seen Siegrist there, personally, but I digress.
However, the move worked out pretty well, in that he got a weak infield fly ball that was dropped.
Kozma makes a junior high catch, we aren't talking about it.
