Nolan Arenado Sitting For Game 2 Of Doubleheader
Nolan Arenado will take a seat for Game 2 of a doubleheader on Wednesday versus the division-rival Cincinnati Reds at Great American Ball Park. Nolan Gorman will start at third and bat sixth, while Brendan Donovan will start at the keystone and hit third against Reds pitching prospect Chase Petty, who will be making his MLB debut. Arenado came into Wednesday's doubleheader hitting .255 (26-for-102) with three home runs, 13 RBI and 13 runs over the first month of the season before going 0-for-5 in the Game 1 win. The 34-year-old veteran hasn't had a multi-hit game since April 18 and hasn't homered since April 14. Gorman, a former first-rounder, has struggled at the plate for the Cardinals early on this season, going 10-for-48 (.208) with a homer, eight RBI and eight runs scored. He'll look to get going against a young and inexperienced arm in Game 2 of the twin bill.
