6:45 p.m. RHP Michael Wacha (1-0, 4.64) vs. RHP Zach Davies (2-0, 1.19) FOX Sports Midwest // KMOX
Update: With Wacha placed on the injured list Monday, his replacement will be Daniel Ponce de Leon (season debut).
The Cards have traditionally hit Davies hard, and his profile this year so far is pretty unsustainable (90+% strand rate). Given that, I expect the offense to score some runs.
Ponce hasn’t been stellar yet but I’d take 5 innings and 2-3 runs from him as the bullpen is relatively fresh.
If that happens, I’d expect a 6-4 type win.
Ponce is getting the start mainly because this is his day to pitch. He’ll return to MEM after the game.
Will this game be played? Its my understanding there’s a good chance of rain in the St. Louis area tonight around game time.
r/Rat
1. Matt Carpenter (L) 3B
2. Paul Goldschmidt (R) 1B
3. Paul DeJong (R) SS
4. Marcell Ozuna (R) LF
5. Jose Martinez (R) RF
6. Yadier Molina (R) C
7. Dexter Fowler (S) CF
8. Kolten Wong (L) 2B
9. Daniel Ponce de Leon (R) PI like the fact that we have an everyday lineup. However, I don’t like Goldberg hitting 2nd. I would flip-flop him and DeJong in the lineup above.
This is, however, probably the first time in Cardinal history that we have two Paul’s back to back in the lineup.

Rats, I just arrived at the stadium. Mostly cloudy but rain not expected until around 9:00 pm. (40% chance increasing thru the evening). First pitch at 6:45. They need to get ahead early and stay ahead.
Great throw by Fowler to catch Yelich at home. Yelich went way wide at the plate and Yadi had to tag him after the play stopped. Weird, but out nonetheless.
Fowler was backing up Martinez, who made a sliding attempt on a ball that may have been catchable. Then we see the other side, as Martinez gets a hit after Ozuna did the same. Molina drives in Ozuna on a single he tries to stretch into a double to make the score 1-0 after two innings.
Arcia tagged that one hard, but PDL comes back with the s/o on Davies. He’s pitching well, but our guys need to start scoring. I feel like dam’s going to break on Davies pretty soon.
Now there’s the Miller the Cards paid a bunch a millions for. He faced 3 and K’d 2 in the 8th. Game still tied at 2.
I don’t think any of us have given DeJong enough credit for the season he is having. HR puts Cards up 3-2 in the eighth.
