The game was on national television on the regular Fox channel, with Joe Buck on the play-by-play, John Smoltz on color, and Ken Rosenthal contributing. Miles Mikolas took the mound for the Cards for his first major league action since September 22nd, 2019. Mikolas started the game by hitting Joc Pederson on the left foot with an 0-1 curve. Kris Bryant popped a 1-2 low-and-away curve towards the Cardinal dugout in foul territory, where Paul Goldschmidt caught it leaning over the rail. Willson Contreras sharply grounded an 89 mph 1-1 low-and-away sinker through the right side for a base hit to move Pederson to 2nd.
