Interruption in Cardinals-Reds Match: Latest Information Regarding Game Resumption Time
The St. Louis Cardinals are eyeing their maiden road series triumph this year as they face the Cincinnati Reds today, fresh off a doubleheader win on Wednesday – provided the weather cooperates! The rain that previously postponed Tuesday's game has reared its head again, delaying the current contest in the bottom of the fourth inning.
Originally scheduled to takeoff on Tuesday, the Cardinals-Reds game was shuffled to Wednesday due to rain, and now, it's waiting for the storm clouds to clear. The rematch is expected to recommence at 2:15pm CDT/3:15pm EST, with the Reds leading the Cardinals 2-1 at the moment.
In the second inning, Reds catcher Jose Trevino powered Cincinnati ahead by notching a two-run homer against Cardinals' starter Matthew Liberatore. But ever since, Liberatore has been on a roll. Nolan Arenado trimmed the margin to one in the third, scoring Brendan Donovan thanks to an error by Elly De La Cruz in center field.
If you missed the Wednesday extravaganza, the Cardinals' offense burst into life in both games. Manager Oliver Marmol's strategic move of moving Masyn Winn to the second spot and shifting Willson Contreras down to the fifth proved fruitful. The result? A combined 15 runs, and six home runs! The pitching was also solid, with Steven Matz and Miles Mikolas both conceding no runs, and the bullpen surrendering a mere run in 8.2 innings.
Despite their home woes, even a series split would be a breath of fresh air for the Cardinals. With a dismal 14-17 record this season, they wouldn't want to risk vanishing from the playoff race, a predicament they've found themselves in the last two May seasons.
Keep checking back for updates on the rain delay situation and the game resumption time. As more information comes in, so will the action on the field!
