Lineup Changes from Previous Game: Aguilar, Chisholm and Fortes in, Brian Anderson, Bryan De La Cruz and Jacob Stallings out; Berti switches from 2B to 3B, Cooper switches from 1B to DH, Soler switches from DH to LF

Additional Notes: Chisholm was sidelined the previous two games due to back spasms...Hard to understand the reasoning behind burying Fortes at the bottom of the order, but at least he’s in the lineup...The Marlins are 3-1 this season in games immediately following a shutout.

Cardinals Starting Lineup

  1. 2B Tommy Edman (114 wRC+ this season, career 103 wRC+)
  2. CF Dylan Carlson (104, 105)
  3. 1B Paul Goldschmidt (199, 144)
  4. 3B Nolan Arenado (141, 119)
  5. RF Juan Yepez (123, 123)
  6. DH Albert Pujols (85, 141)
  7. LF Brendan Donovan (155, 155)
  8. SS Edmundo Sosa (37, 90)
  9. C Iván Herrera (45, 45)

RHP Dakota Hudson (105 ERA+ this season, career 125 ERA+)

Notes: Goldschmidt is the MLB leader in numerous categories (BA, OBP, OPS, rWAR and wRC+)...Hudson perennially induces tons of ground balls—his current 56.1 GB% this season would be a career low, but it’s still elite for a starting pitcher.
