(St. Louis, MO) — Last night’s scheduled game between the Chicago Cubs and St. Louis Cardinals was suspended because of the threat of inclement weather. The game will be made up today as part of a split doubleheader. Miles Mikolas gets the start for the first game at 12:15PM, pregame at 11:20 and Jose Quintana will make his Cardinals debut in game two at 6:45PM, pregame at 5:50 on KIRX.
The St. Louis Cardinals gained ground in the NL Central race despite their game being postponed yesterday. The 55-and-48 Cardinals now trail the first-place Brewers by just one-and-a-half games after Milwaukee lost to the Pirates 8-7 yesterday. However, St. Louis did drop out of the final Wild Card spot in the National League as the Phillies beat the Braves to take a half-game lead on the Cardinals.
