First Pitch is scheduled for 12:15 p.m. at Busch Stadium.
Albert Pujols will start at first base Saturday in game one of the doubleheader against the Cincinnati Reds. He will hit second for the first time this season. The decision to put him that high up in the lineup serves a duel purpose for the Cardinals batting order.
Not only will it give Pujols more opportunities at the plate to hit his 699th home run, but with a left-hander on the mound, it also forces the Reds to make a decision about the bullpen faster and earlier in the game.
