The Miami Marlins started off their 7-game road trip in St. Louis on Monday night. The series opener featured a promising pitching matchup: Pablo López v. Adam Wainwright. But only one of them lived up to the hype.
Prior to the game, the Marlins brought Brian Anderson back from the 10-day IL and sent down Luke Williams in a corresponding roster move. Meanwhile, the Cardinals placed stud center fielder Harrison Bader on the 10-day IL.
The Marlins offense was handled with ease in the first inning by Wainwright. López was able to get Tommy Edman and Brendan Donovan in the bottom half.
