The Royals-Cardinals series is finally set to get underway Wednesday.
After forecasted inclement weather forced a one-day delay to the series between the Royals and St. Louis Cardinals , the two teams will do battle in a split doubleheader Wednesday at Busch Stadium.
Game one, scheduled for a 12:45 p.m. CT first pitch, features a matchup of dueling right-handers on the mound. For Kansas City, it'll be Alec Marsh, who enters with an even 6-6 record and 4.57 ERA. St. Louis is sending out Andre Pallante, who is 4-3 with an even 4.00 earned run average. Both teams need big wins in this two-game set, and know that saving arms will be important for a long day ahead. Pallante has been a more than serviceable starter, starting seven of his 16 games this season. His starts in 2024 are two seasons removed from his most recent starts before that , but he's done well. Marsh is now a starter by trade after effectively splitting duties between starting and relief last season .
If St. Louis secures the sweep, it will push the Cardinals to the 50-win threshold. Kansas City only needs to win one of the two games to reach that mark.Kansas City lineup: 1. Maikel Garcia, second base; 2. Bobby Witt Jr., shortstop; 3. Vinnie Pasquantino, first base; 4. Salvador Perez, catcher; 5. Hunter Renfroe, right field; 6. Freddy Fermin, designated hitter; 7. MJ Melendez, left field; 8. Nick Loftin, third base; 9.
St. Louis lineup: 1. Masyn Winn, shortstop; 2. Alec Burleson, right field; 3. Wilson Contreras, designated hitter; 4. Paul Goldschmidt, first base; 5. Brendan Donovan, left field; 6.
