Brewers (Henderson) vs Cardinals (Pallante): 7/9/26, 6:45pm

[Brock Beauchamp]

It's probably unreasonable to expect the Brewers to beat the Cardinals every time.

Welcome back Henderson.  LFG!

Except for the 7th inning in the second game on Tuesday the Cardinals pitchers have done a pretty good job containing the Brewers offense. 

The two pitchers the Brewers have faced in the series who are part of the Cardinals regular rotation (May and McGreevey) held them to 1 run in 11 innings.

Tonight the Cards start Pallante who (along with McGreevey) has been one of their best starters. Unless the Brewers offense can shake out of its recent malaise it’s going to be another grinder.

The Cardinals often play afternoon games on getaway days, but apparently that’s only when it’s a getaway day for them. Screw the opponent. 

This could be even more significant today because the forecast in St. Louis calls for a chance of scattered thunderstorms at times during the day and tonight. It might have been helpful to get the game in before any storms move in.

The Angels are notorious for this. They scheduled a game last year against Pittsburgh with a 6:29 start which is the latest they are legally allowed to start under the CBA. All the AL West opponents hate them because the flights home are all under 2.5 hours so they always schedule night games on weekday getaways. Even when they are forced to do a day game they will often start at 4. 
 

Since the STL to PIT flight for us is under the limit, the Cards can get away with a night game.

The Cubs and Orioles were scheduled for tonight but they moved the start time up to this afternoon because of storms in the forecast.. 

Based on radar and comments from the announcers about the sky getting darker they might mot have started early enough.
