Kozma steps in for Wong at second in Cards' series finale

Pete Kozma, who jumpstarted the Cardinals' 11th inning on Saturday, is in the starting lineup for Sunday's extra-inning game against the Pirates, while Kolten Wong, who got his hand hit in a play at second on Saturday is out.

There's no word yet if Wong was hurt on that play. He stayed in the game after getting his hand caught up in a steal attempt by Gregory Polanco, but was eventually double-switched out of the game. It's just the second start of the season at second for Kozma. He also has made a start at third.

We don't know for sure it will be an extra-inning game, but the first two games of the series already couldn't be decided in nine, so why should this one be different?
