Garcia set to give shortstop a whirl

CINCINNATI • With rain expected throughout the day here in the Queen City there is no guarantee that the Cardinals and Reds will play on time or play at all, but if they take the field for the final game of a three-game visit at Great American Ball Park there will be one certainty at shortstop.

Greg Garcia is getting the long-promised look there.

The lefthanded-hitting infielder and former college teammate of Kolten Wong spent most of his minor-league career at shortstop, but the Cardinals have in recent years repositioned him as more of a utility infielder.
