6:05 p.m. RHP John Gant (6-5, 3.34) vs. RHP Tanner Roark (8-14, 4.03) FOX Sports Midwest/MLB Network/KMOX
Tuesday morning update: Tuesday’s original starter, Miles Mikolas, was bumped back a day and will be making this start. Gant will go on Tuesday instead.
Mikolas moving back a day puts him on track to start the opener of the final series in Chicago if the rotation holds. Should be a good chance to win tonight.
man, the poor pen play as of late really seems to be putting a damper on the great play we have been getting…and it shoudlnt…the losses as of late havent been ridiculous just unfortunate…team overall has still been playing well… focus is on the pen figuring it out right now and it shoudl be…but the bats seem relatively stable at the moment and the rotation isnt imploding or losing games for us.. it would be nice to get Jedd and Wong back…but Wisdom and Munoz seem solid enough…
JMart seems to be in a funk. He has still been getting a few hits here and there but it seems that he has really struggled in pressure situations lately and his K rate is way up. It will be interesting to see if Shildt gives him a day off today with tomorrow being an off day and DH duties on the horizon in Detroit. We need to get him going.
Man, what a ridiculous game that was last night. It was one of those you win, but it felt like a loss. We score 11, but also walk 11! You score 11 runs, yet burn through 7 pitchers!
One of those ultimate modern-era games that drives people crazy – walks, a bunch of homers, a bunch of pitching changes, and over 4 hours to complete. The pro-typical example of “what’s wrong with the game today.”
Anyway, lets hope we see a much crisper, well-played contest tonight, and get back on a series winning streak.
I’m hoping for Munoz (2B) and Wisdom (3B) with Carpenter at 1B, then Ozuna and O’Neill starting in the OF.
I like Wisdom (especially his defense) over Jose Martinez at 1B and I like O’Neill over Martinez in the OF (especially going against a RH pitcher).
It is truly amazing how nearly every Cards pitchers suddenly has lost the ability to throw strikes.Even Mikolas has had control issues lately.Also this team really misses Kolten Wongs defense.Yesterday was like a early spring training game.Nobody could find the strike zone or play defense and hits where everywhere.
With Martinez looking bad last night and Wisdom running in to one, my guess is Patrick gets the start and Jose sits.
Once Gyorko gets back we will get settled in again. Meanwhile Wong should be in there any day as well, maybe tonight.
While Kolten Wong was on the DL, Greg Garcia logged a .325. That is his OPS! I look into today's #stlcards system transactions, including two Memphis moves. (free) https://t.co/t6KBCSWxiz

It looks like the Yadi batting second experiment is over. I’m kind of disappointed to see it go.
Moving Molina down seems especially curious since Martinez, who has been swinging and missing at most everything lately, moved up into the #2 spot.
Our old buddy Brandon Phillips, just recently called up by the Red Sox, hits a two run homer in the 9th today in Atlanta to give the Red Sox a 9-8 win over the Braves.
Hard to believe its been eight (8) years already that he and Molina got into things in Cincinnati.

Against this pitcher and in this spot vs his ex teammates, I love Big City. I’m calling this one 6-3 Good Guys with Big City amassing not one….but two extra base hits.
With Jmarts funk why isn
t ONeill getting some starts.I say time and time again…ONeill needs to play ...he isnt a Pinch-hitter.Even though I don’t love seeing Adams hitting 3rd either, the book would say he isn’t a bad choice against the righty there.
So like I was saying, that Matt Adams fella… excellent choice as #3 hitter.
That’s three RBI and two Matts matted in.
