The St. Louis Cardinals wrap up their series against the Pittsburgh Pirates today. It’s currently in the first inning with the game tied. The Cardinals have Sonny Gray pitching against Mitch Keller for the Pirates. The lineup came out early today, which had Nolan Arenado batting fourth and in the cleanup spot.
Moments before first pitch, the Cardinals changed their lineup. Nolan Gorman was now at third base and batting sixth. Back spasms scratched him. They took time to announce that, which started trade speculation. Arenado, in 34 games this season, is hitting .256 with a .738 OPS. He has nine doubles, three home runs, 14 RBI, 16 runs scored, a stolen base, and 16 walks.
