The 7:15 CT game-time start came and went with no players in sight. At 8:20 CT, my TV showed Cardinals finally taking the field. As we later learned, Dexter Fowler and Jack Flaherty chose not to participate in tonight’s game in solidarity with NBA and MLB players (and entire teams; e.g., the Reds and Brewers postponed their game) protesting the events in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
In response, Mike Shildt moved Tommy Edman from his original 3B spot to RF and Matt Carpenter, who was to have the night off, instead came in to play 3B.
