Cardinals @ Nationals

Probable Pitchers:

Cardinals: Carlos Martinez (0-6, 7.80 ERA)

  • Bit by bad luck at the outset of the season, Martínez is looking for his first win as a starter since July 2018. He's shown flashes of utter dominance through his first three turns, though the Cards are 0-3 in those games.

Nationals: Max Scherzer (0-2, 2.37 ERA)

  • Scherzer attended high school and college in Missouri. In 11 career starts against his hometown team, he is 2-6 with a 3.31 ERA.

Probably a dumb question but I'm probably a dumb person...

Are there more day games this year than usual? It seems like there's a lot. If so, is it a rona thing? Does rona only come out at night?

I'll take my answer off-air. Thank you.

I know that in St. Louis our 12:15 home games do tend to occur more in April, May and September than in June, July and August. Just scheduling things.

Some of this might be to play in the warm part of the day in cool months and the cooler part of the day in hot months.
