Lineup: Adam Frazier 2B, Kevin Newman SS, Josh Bell 1B, Colin Moran DH, Bryan Reynolds LF, Gregory Polanco RF, Phil Evans 3B, Jarrod Dyson CF, John Ryan Murphy C and Mitch Keller P. Looks like with Gregory back in action and the corner rotation set, Joey O is out of a position to play.

| Joey O the odd man out - 2019 Topps Now |
Pitchers: RHP Mitch Keller (1-0, 1.80) vs. RHP Tyler Chatwood (1-0, 1.00). Both guys are coming off strong openers. Mitch didn't have his best stuff but worked through some raindrops to hold the Cards to a run. Kell's velocity was three or four ticks down, but he said it was just one of those days, and that physically and mechanically he was fine. Tyler looked on top of his game, limited the Brew Crew to a run on three hits with eight whiffs through six frames. Keller made two starts against the Baby Bruins in 2019, lasting 9-1/3 IP. He whiffed 12, but also gave up seven runs and a couple of dingers. Chatwood only started once against the Bucs last year, but made five appearances and gave up one run in eight innings.
Notes:
- After eight innings of flailing at the plate, the Bucs teed up on Craig Kimbrel. All five of the balls the Pirates put in play against him topped 100 MPH/exit velocity, but the final three rockets all found leather after the first pair left the yard.
- And now the Cardinals have members that tested positive for Covid 19...
- MLB & MLBPA agreed that both ends of a doubleheader will be seven innings for the remainder of the 2020 season.
- Lorenzo Cain of the Brewers has opted out of the season.
