St. Louis Cardinals 4, Cincinnati Reds 3 in Strat-O-Matic 2020 simulated season opener

Error 0:

The 2020 season didn’t start any better than the 2019 season ended for Cincinnati Reds reliever Raisel Iglesias.

Iglesias surrendered a tie-breaking solo home run to St. Louis’ Kolten Wong in the top of the ninth inning, and then Cardinals reliever Giovanny Gallegos retired the Reds in order in the bottom of the ninth to earn the save and preserve the 4-3 victory for the visitors.

That was the result today as Strat-O-Matic games of Glen Head, N.Y., began its announced plan to simulate the entire 2020 Major League Baseball season on a day-by-day basis for as long as actual gameplay is on hold.
