Reflecting on his 2019 experience ahead of his return trip with the Cubs for a two-game series versus the St. Louis Cardinals on Saturday and Sunday at London Stadium, Tauchman laughs at the first memory that pops in his head: a record heat wave. London Stadium’s recorded temperature at first pitch was 92 degrees for the series opener.Fortunately, the weather cooled off for the second game, sitting at 75 degrees as it got underway.
The Cubs-Cardinals matchup — featuring Saturday starter Justin Steele and Sunday starter Marcus Stroman — likely won’t repeat those offensive numbers. Major League Baseball moved back the fence at the stadium, which was originally built for the 2012 Olympics and is now the home turf of the Premier League’s West Ham United.
