The scheduled game between the Yankees and Cardinals was postponed because of inclement weather Friday night.
They'll push Friday's scheduled starter, Luis Severino , to the first game Saturday and he'll be trying for his second consecutive win. Severino led the Yankees to a 1-0 victory over Texas last weekend, giving up five hits in six innings.The last-place Cardinals, losers of two straight and four of six, will stick with their scheduled Saturday starter in the first game.
St. Louis will bump its Friday starter to Saturday evening. Matthew Liberatore hasn't won since his first outing of the season and hasn't received a decision in his past three starts. In his most recent game, he went just 2 1/3 innings against the Chicago Cubs in the second game of a two-game set in London.
New York ace Gerrit Cole , who had been scheduled for Saturday, will instead start Sunday's series finale. He's coming off his shortest outing of the season in which he went just 4 2/3 innings in a no-decision against Texas. He gave up three runs on nine hits, including a homer, and struck out seven in a game the Yankees won 5-3.© 2023 The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.
