Matthew Liberatore on the mound, Willson Contreras at catcher in Cardinals, Brewers Game 3

First pitch is scheduled for 6:45 p.m. at Busch Stadium.

Matthew Liberatore has been called up from Class AAA Memphis to make a start for the Cardinals as they go for the series victory against NL Central rivals the Milwaukee Brewers. Willson Contreras will catch the rookie Liberatore in his first season appearance.

Paul Goldschmidt will get the half-day off as he will serve as the DH, and Brendan Donovan will start at first base in his place and hit sixth. This is Donovan's seventh start of the season at first, the most of any player on the Cardinals besides Goldschmidt.
