The Cardinals took the lead in Game 1 of the series against the Royals, winning 10-3. Iván Herrera had another strong offensive game, going 3-for-4 and driving in 4 runs. Pallante earned his 4th win of the season, pitching well in 7 innings, striking out 4, and allowing 2 ER.
Game 2 is scheduled for Saturday night in Kansas City. Miles Mikolas, with a 4.35 ERA, will be the starting pitcher for the Cards, while Noah Cameron will be the Royals' starter.
Noah Cameron is coming off his MLB debut, pitching 6.1 scoreless innings, going up and down from triple-A after recent injuries to Cole Ragans and also Lugo.
Despite losing the first game of the series, the Royals' record at Kauffman Stadium is 16-8, and most of their games this season have been pitching duels, which is why their O/U record is 16-29 in the betting world.
