Cardinals-Brewers rainout – Misryoum reports Tuesday’s Cardinals-Brewers game was postponed due to rain, with a July 7 doubleheader replacing it.
A sudden wave of rain at Busch Stadium upended Tuesday night’s plans, forcing the Cardinals to postpone their matchup with the Brewers and set a new schedule.
With showers settling over the ballpark and expected to last into the night, the game was officially pushed back.. Ticket holders for Tuesday’s rained-out contest will be able to use their tickets for the rescheduled date: a doubleheader on July 7.. The first game starts at 1:15 p.m.. CT, followed by the nightcap at 6:45 p.m.. CT, as outlined by Misryoum.
That delay also reshaped the rhythm of both teams’ pitching plans.. For St.. Louis, the postponement created more breathing room during a period that had been packed with games.. Andre Pallante. originally set for Tuesday night. moved to Wednesday afternoon. and the rest of the Cardinals’ rotation was adjusted so each starter shifts back one day from the earlier plan.
In this context, rescheduling is about more than just squeezing in extra baseball. A clear runway of dates protects starting arms, helps teams keep their rotation consistent, and reduces the risk of turning one weather delay into weeks of ripple effects.
The Cardinals’ adjustments continue through the road stretch ahead.. Matthew Liberatore is now expected to be ready for Thursday in San Diego. while Michael McGreevy is slated to start Friday.. Dustin May and Kyle Leahy are expected to follow in sequence. keeping the rotation aligned with the team’s broader needs. according to Misryoum.
Meanwhile, the Brewers also pushed their starters back.. Brandon Sproat, a rookie, is set for Wednesday’s series finale, and the rest of the group will shift accordingly.. That includes Jacob Misiorowski. who remains on track for Friday night against the Yankees after departing his previous start due to right hamstring cramping.
This matchup wasn’t only about timing on the calendar; it was also a scheduling puzzle shaped by how tough the Brewers’ near-term stretch already is.. Their other Busch Stadium visit is a four-game set before the All-Star break. and it sits in the middle of a 17-game run without an off-day. making them particularly motivated to keep the doubleheader plan near Wednesday rather than wait longer.
In the end. Misryoum reports that after back-and-forth around contingency options. the July 7 doubleheader became the solution that both sides could work with.. With Wednesday’s forecast looking more favorable. the immediate concern for fans shifts from weather to settling into a new rhythm for the series.
For supporters, these kinds of schedule swings can be frustrating, but they also help preserve the season’s momentum. When teams find a workable makeup date, it keeps the competitive balance closer to what was intended, even when Mother Nature forces the change.
