First Pitch is scheduled for 5:35 p.m. at Pittsburgh's PNC Park
The Cardinals and manager Oliver Marmol have begun arranging their post-season pitching rotation, and will use their starters in a nontraditional way on Monday to keep pitchers fresh and flexible.
Jose Quintana will start today's game, with Miles Mikolas coming on in relief at some point. Both pitchers will be on a limited pitch count with the intention only of keeping rhythm with their usual schedules.
The Cardinals lineup largely features its stars. Paul Goldschmidt returns to the lineup after taking Sunday afternoon off to allow Albert Pujols to make the start at first base.
