First pitch is scheduled for 5:40 p.m. at Cincinnati's Great American Ballpark
Paul Goldschmidt will start as the designated hitter and hit second as the Cardinals look to continue their series winning streak, needing a win today to keep the possibility of winning their fifth straight series win.
Brendan Donovan will start at first base in Goldschmidt's stead. The start is his sixth of the season at first and the second most of any position this season for the utility defender behind only second base.
Willson Contreras will take over behind the plate again after having the half-day off as the DH yesterday.
