First Pitch is scheduled for 5:35 p.m. at Pittsburgh's PNC Park
The Cardinals continue their march to the playoffs on Tuesday night by prioritizing rest and experimentation. Dakota Hudson gets the start today, his first since Sept. 17th, with Jack Flaherty scheduled to come out of the bullpen for the first time since the end of the 2021 season.
Hudson's start is set to be a regular one, meaning he has no cap or conditions and will pitch so long as his performance permits.
Flaherty is thought to be an option out of the bullpen in the wild card series, but could also get a start later down the line in the playoffs should the need arise.
