Only now, with trades, etc., Pallante is probably the Cardinals’ No. 3 starter. That’s not optimal, not for them, anyway. He did hold the Cubs to two runs in five innings June 26 in St. Louis, though the Cubs won that game anyway.

The St. Louis Cardinals take on the Chicago Cubs this evening at 6:15 pm CT. The game will be available on FanDuel Sports Network Midwest and on the radio on KMOX 1120 AM/104.1 FM.
