It took way too long to get here, but the Cardinals are finally visiting Wrigley Field in 2025. That it comes over the Fourth of July weekend almost makes this dumb quirk of the balanced schedule worth it. Of course, having it air on a streaming service a lot of fans don’t subscribe to is a pretty big bummer.
Colin Rea will be on the mound as he looks to keep his spot in the rotation. Jordan Wicks is at Wrigley today, presumably as an injury replacement for a reliever, but he’s looked very good in Iowa and could help to stretch out the rotation here at the end of the first half.
