BALTIMORE • Since his promotion to the majors as an attempted to breathe some life into a losing road trip, Chad Huffman has been utilized only as a pinch-hitter or late-game sub when the score was no longer in doubt.
On Saturday, for the first time since 2010, Huffman starts.
Looking for a chance to get Stephen Piscotty a break -- and that means a break, not a day at designated hitter -- Cardinals manager Mike Matheny is replacing Piscotty in right field with Huffman. Tommy Pham shifts from center to left, and Dexter Fowler returns to the field.
