The Pitching Matchup
The starting pitcher for the St. Louis Cardinals, Jack Flaherty, will be looking for his fourth win of the season in today’s matchup.

Flexen, with a 2-1 record, has an ERA of 3.33 and 30 strikeouts on the season after four appearances. It’s going to be a battle of the mound between the two talented pitchers.
