Cardinals' Bader to lead off against Mets, followed by Wong

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla.—Harrison Bader, who was two for eight with two doubles in two starts as a leadoff man last season, will be in the No.1 spot Sunday, followed by Kolten Wong, as the Cardinals take on the New York Mets in their second Grapefruit League game here.

Shortstop Paul DeJong, who will hi third, is the only other 2019 regular starting Sunday although former aces Adam Wainwright and Carlos Martinez, both counted on to be in the rotation this year, are slotted for the first four innings.

To follow are potential starters Daniel Ponce de Leon and Jake Woodford.
