Cardinals' Nolan Arenado and Brewers Set for a Thrilling Matchup at American Family Field

First Inning


As the Cardinals prepare to face off against the Brewers at American Family Field, all eyes will be on Nolan Arenado, the standout third baseman for the Redbirds. Over the past three games, Arenado has been a force to reckon with, boasting an impressive batting average of .444 and an OPS of 1.14. His performance against the Blue Jays on June 10 was particularly noteworthy, where he hit a home run and maintained a perfect fielding percentage.

On the mound for the Cardinals, Sonny Gray will look to bounce back from his recent struggles. In his last outing against the Brewers on June 12, Gray posted an ERA of 12.46 over four innings. However, his ability to strike out batters remains intact with a K/9 rate of 8.3 in that game.


The Brew Crew's lineup is not short on talent either. Christian Yelich has been consistent with his bat, maintaining a .500 average in their last meeting with St. Louis. His presence in left field adds depth to Milwaukee's defense as well.

Second Inning


Moving into the second inning, Iván Herrera's role as catcher will be crucial for managing Cardinals' pitching staff effectively. Although Herrera's offensive stats have been underwhelming with an average of .133 over three games, his defensive skills behind the plate are vital.


For Milwaukee, Rhys Hoskins stands out with power potential at first base. He showcased his slugging prowess against Atlanta on June 11 by hitting a home run and driving in one run while maintaining a perfect fielding percentage.

Pitcher Aaron Ashby could play a pivotal role for Milwaukee if called upon from their bullpen. With an ERA of 0 and WHIP of 1 over two innings pitched recently against St. Louis, Ashby provides stability in relief situations.


Third Inning


As we enter deeper into this anticipated matchup between division rivals, Masyn Winn's performance at shortstop could be decisive for St. Louis defensively given his flawless fielding percentage across recent games despite limited offensive output (.150 avg).


Meanwhile, Jackson Chourio continues making waves within Milwaukee’s outfield ranks; he recorded an OPS of 1 during their last encounter versus Cardinals while demonstrating solid defensive capabilities without committing any errors thus far this season.


Fourth Inning


In later innings when fatigue sets upon starters like Matthew Liberatore (ERA:5) or Jacob Misiorowski (ERA:0), both teams might rely heavily upon relievers such as John King who managed zero earned runs through two appearances lately—highlighting how critical bullpen management becomes especially during tight contests like these ones expected ahead!
