The game between the Cardinals and the Brewers at Busch Stadium was postponed on Tuesday due to persistent rain showers.
A doubleheader has been scheduled for July 7 to make up for the postponement.
Rescheduled Game Details
Fans who have tickets for Tuesday’s game can use them for the rescheduled game on July 7 at 1:15 p.m. CT. The originally scheduled game will follow that night at 6:45 p.m. CT.
Rotation Adjustments for Both Teams
The rainout gives the Cardinals’ rotation some leeway during a stretch that had them playing on 17 consecutive days. Andre Pallante is now slated to start for the Cardinals on Wednesday afternoon, a day later than originally planned.
Matthew Liberatore is now scheduled to start on Thursday in San Diego. Michael McGreevy will start Friday in that road series, with Dustin May and Kyle Leahy expected to follow, according to manager Oliver Marmol.
For the Brewers, rookie Brandon Sproat will start Wednesday’s series finale, pushing back the rest of the starters. Jacob Misiorowski is now scheduled to start on Friday night against the Yankees, remaining on schedule after his last start was cut short due to right hamstring cramping.
Scheduling Challenges
Both teams knew that weather could be a factor in the series. Finding a suitable make-up date proved challenging because of the schedule.
The Brewers wanted to play a doubleheader on Wednesday, beginning with the regularly scheduled series finale at 12:15 p.m. CT and the makeup game to follow. Their only other visit to Busch Stadium is a four-game series during the week before the All-Star break, which falls in the middle of Milwaukee’s longest stretch of the season without an off-day — 17 games in 17 days.
Better Weather Forecasted
The National Weather Service forecasts better weather for the Brewers’ and Cardinals’ series finale on Wednesday afternoon. There is a chance for morning rain that should clear up by midday.
