Game Preview
Since recovering from elbow bone spurs, Joe Musgrove, the San Diego Padres’ right-hander, has been delivering outstanding performances. With an impressive 0.57 ERA and 16 strikeouts over his last three starts, Musgrove (4-4, 4.43 ERA) is set to maintain his form in the upcoming Wednesday night game. This game is part of a four-game series against the Cardinals in St. Louis, where the Padres have captured the first two games, winning 7-4 and 7-5 respectively.
In his most recent outing, Musgrove excelled with seven innings of nearly flawless pitching, allowing just one hit in a 7-0 shutout against the New York Mets. This 75-pitch performance was hailed by Padres manager Mike Shildt as a "masterpiece," noting Musgrove’s dominance and control.
Musgrove has diversified his pitch arsenal by incorporating a new slider, complementing his curveball, cutter, and sweeper, which proved effective against the Mets’ lineup. He attributes his success to a clear plan that aligns well with his strengths.
Earlier this year, Musgrove secured a win over the Cardinals, limiting them to one run across six innings, enhancing his career record against them to 3-7 with a 4.87 ERA.
Countering for the Cardinals will be right-hander Andre Pallante (6-6, 3.84 ERA), who is coming off a strong performance with a 6-1 victory over the Minnesota Twins. Over his last three appearances, Pallante has surrendered just four earned runs and continues to solidify his position in the rotation.
Pallante’s consistency has been praised by Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol, who encouraged him to focus solely on his upcoming performances without distractions.
On the bullpen front, the Cardinals refreshed their lineup by promoting Riley O’Brien from Triple-A Memphis, replacing Shawn Armstrong. O’Brien, who had a promising spring before an arm injury, is seen as a valuable asset for the bullpen.
Nolan Arenado, the Cardinals’ third baseman, is expected back in the starting lineup on Wednesday after resting the previous game, though he was on standby for pinch-hitting duties if needed.
