ST. LOUIS -- Less than 24 hours after a crazy, exhausting game ended they strap it on again in a few hours and play another. To quote Earl Weaver for the second time today: This ain’t a football game. They do this every day.
For the Red Sox, the only real change is the exile of Jarrod Saltalamacchia -- really, after that throw on the obstruction play he may be on a train to Siberia -- the insertion of David Ross and bumping Stephen Drew up to the seven hole:
Ellsbury CF
Victorino RF
Pedroia 2B
Ortiz 1B
Nava LF
Bogaerts 3B
Drew SS
Ross C
Buchholz SP
The Cardinals have a substitution of their own, along with a flip-flop down low: Daniel Descalso is in for Pete Kozma and hitting eighth. Jon Jay is moved up to sixth, David Freese is down to seventh:
Matt Carpenter 2B
Carlos Beltran RF
Matt Holliday LF
Matt Adams 1B
Yadier Molina C
Jon Jay CF
David Freese 3B
Daniel Descalso SS
Lance Lynn SP
