Before the game today, we learned that Miles Mikolas would be lost for the season to surgery to repair a flexor tendon in his throwing arm. Jake Woodford was recalled from the Alternate Training Site and Giovanny Gallegos was activated to the roster to give the Cards a full complement of 30 players. You can check out my piece here to get caught up on the roster moves and understand why the Cards started the season a man short.
Carlos Martinez was starting his first game since July 30th, 2018, and it did not go well.
