PITCHING MATCHUP: Cardinals RH Jack Flaherty (3-3, 4.32 ERA) vs. Braves RH Mike Foltynewicz (0-2, 5.94)
Flaherty, who finished fifth in NL Rookie of the Year voting last season, has struggled in three road starts, going 0-2 with an 8.53 ERA, four homers and six walks in 12 2/3 innings. The 23-year-old lost at home Wednesday against Pittsburgh, giving up four runs (three earned) on four hits in five innings of a 5-0 defeat - his second start in a row in which St. Louis was shut out. Flaherty made one start against Atlanta last season, allowing five runs on five hits in 4 2/3 innings to take the loss.
It has been a rough start for Foltynewicz, who missed the first month of the season with elbow soreness and has allowed five homers and 15 runs in 16 2/3 innings across three big-league outings. The 27-year-old took the loss Wednesday at the Dodgers, surrendering five runs on five hits with four walks and two homers allowed in six innings. Foltynewicz, who has yet to hold an opponent to fewer than four runs, is 2-3 with an 8.06 ERA in five career starts against St. Louis.
