The Cardinals (61–64) will play the Marlins (59–65) in the evening on Tuesday, August 19, at LoanDepot Park. St. Louis responds with Matthew Liberatore (6-10, 4.08 ERA), while Miami sends dependable right-hander Eury Pérez (5-3, 3.58 ERA) to the mound. As both teams strive for Wild Card positioning in the NL, the contrast between Pérez’s command and Liberatore’s inconsistency creates the ideal environment for an exciting game.
