The St. Louis Cardinals will have a different looking lineup as they return to Busch Stadium to open a weekend series against the Detroit Tigers tonight. Yadier Molina will be batting seventh, followed by Jason Heyward in front of pitcher Carlos Martinez.
Heyward hit .122 (4-22) on the Cardinals road trip and like the rest of the current Cardinals roster, has yet to face Shane Greene, tonight’s starter for Detroit.
