Cardinals Looking for .500 Road Trip

The Cardinals scored four early runs off homeruns in the loss to the Brewers on Tuesday. The Cardinals have seen Paul DeJong provide some early power with three homeruns on the season. In the loss, Marcell Ozuna hit his first homerun of the season.
Carlos Martinez will throw for the Cardinals in this game. He struggled in the loss to the Mets on Opening Day. Martinez is 0-1, with an 8.31 on the season. In his career, the 26 year old from the Dominican Republic is 46-33 with a 3.45 earned run average. The Cardinals have a team earned run average of 5.06.
Martinez Shines in Win
Carlos Martinez has the ability to be a shut down starting pitcher. He has lacked the ability to focus and slam the door through the early part of his career. This is a big early game for the Cardinals with a chance to finish .500 on the opening road trip. The Brewers are a streaky team, and a strikeout pitcher like Martinez can slow them down. Look for Martinez to get the job done in a St. Louis win. The Cardinals beat the Brewers and win 2 out of 3 in Milwaukee on Wednesday.
