The St. Louis Cardinals are currently taking on the New York Yankees in a three-game set (at Yankee Stadium).
In game one of the series, St. Louis picked up a huge 13-7 win, which was aided by an outpouring of scoring in the late innings and, very notably, Alec Burleson’s 3-home run performance.
However, for Tuesday’s game, Alec Burleson is not featured in the Cardinals lineup, which is a very interesting decision, especially given the short porch in right field at Yankee Stadium.
