ST. LOUIS–It’s time to play ball! Opening Day for Cardinals baseball has long been an unofficial holiday for the St. Louis region. Thursday afternoon, the Sea of Red returns to Busch Stadium as St. Louis hosts the Toronto Blue Jays in a 3:10pm start. Miles Mikolas gets the start for the Redbirds. Toronto's Alek Manoah toes the rubber for the Blue Jays.
