Overview
- With steady rain in St. Louis on Tuesday, the Cardinals postponed the Brewers game and set a split doubleheader for July 7 at Busch Stadium.
- Team discussions shaped the plan, as Milwaukee sought a Wednesday twin bill while St. Louis, in a 17-games-in-17-days run with a San Diego trip next, opted for July.
- The scheduled starters carried over to the next game, with Milwaukee’s Brandon Sproat facing St. Louis right-hander Andre Pallante in the series finale.
- The July makeup intensifies Milwaukee’s workload by stretching a late June to mid-July run to 18 games in 17 days before the All-Star break.
- Roster news framed the series, with Jackson Chourio returning from a fractured hand for a 4-for-4 debut, reliever Angel Zerpa headed for Tommy John surgery, and Garrett Mitchell scratched Wednesday due to illness.
