With the way the pitching matchups stacked up in this series against the Phillies, it sure seemed like if St. Louis didn’t get the win in game one against Christopher Sanchez, that they’d be staring down the barrel of a three-game sweep. The Cardinals did not, in fact, win game one, meaning that they’d need to pull off a win against one of Zack Wheeler or Aaron Nola to escape Philly with a win.
Here are the starting lineups for the Cardinals and Phillies Saturday night:
Cardinals:
- Tommy Edman, 2B
- Alec Burleson, RF
- Paul Goldschmidt, 1B
- Nolan Gorman, 3B
- Willson Contreras, C
- Tyler O’Neill, LF

- Luken Baker, DH
- Masyn Winn, SS
Dakota Hudson - SP
And the Phillies:
- Kyle Schwarber, LF
- Trea Turner, SS
- Bryce Harper, DH
