The St. Louis Cardinals had Monday off and they will begin an eight game road trip in Milwaukee tonight starting at 5:45 on KSMO Radio. Carlos Martinez will be on the mound for the Cardinals who are one game under .500 at 52-53.

The Cardinals announced that Stephen Piscotty will be activated from the 10-day disabled list ahead of tonight’s opener of a critical three-game series against the Brewers. The Cardinals have cleared a spot on the 25-man roster for Piscotty by optioning outfielder Harrison Bader to Triple-A Memphis.

Craig Gentry lined a walk-off single with two outs in the ninth inning to give the Baltimore Orioles a 2-1 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Monday night. The Royals will face the Orioles again tonight.
