First pitch is scheduled for 3:10 p.m. London time and 9:10 a.m. St. Louis time from London Stadium in the United Kingdom.

LONDON — His plan was to be in the bullpen, ready and available should the Cardinals need him at any point in the London Series against the Chicago Cubs.

The call came – but not for Matthew Liberatore expected.

The Cardinals rookie will remain on turn and also make a start he did not expect Sunday. Thrust into an opening created by Jack Flaherty’s hip tightness, Liberatore will start the final game of the Cardinals two-game visit to the United Kingdom.
