With rain showers settling over Busch Stadium on Tuesday and expected to persist into the night, the Cardinals postponed their game against the Brewers and scheduled a doubleheader for July 7th.
Tuesday’s rainout provides the Cardinals’ rotation with some cushion in the midst of a stretch that had been slated to see the team play on 17 consecutive days. After being originally scheduled for Tuesday night, Andre Pallante will start for the Cardinals tomorrow afternoon in the series finale. St. Louis will push each starter back a day from what had been previously planned, with Matthew Liberatore now on track for Thursday's series opener in San Diego against the Padres.
Michael McGreevy will start Friday in that road series, with Dustin May and Kyle Leahy expected to follow thereafter as the Cardinals keep their rotation in order, per Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol.
For the Brewers, rookie Brandon Sproat will start Wednesday’s series finale and the rest of the starters will be pushed back. That means a start on Friday night against the Yankees for Jacob Misiorowski, who remains on schedule after leaving his last start amid a no-hit bid because of right hamstring cramping.
Tomorrow's finale between the Brewers and Cardinals will begin with first pitch at 12:15pm. Pregame will begin at 12:05 on KY 102 (102.5FM).
