Fire inside: Intensity fueling Mayers` success
(MLB.com St. Louis Cardinals)

The hard-throwing Mike Mayers has been one of the revelations of Cardinals camp, pushing triple digits with his fastball and holding opponents scoreless over nine total innings. Armed with two fewer pitches and a newfound intensity, the 26-year-old is pitching his way into St. Louis` long-term late-inning plans. Simply put, he`s been lights out. And he credits a fire now burning from within.
