Sonny Gray will take the mound for St. Louis. The right-hander enters the contest with a 6-1 record, a 3.65 ERA, and 76 strikeouts this season. He will look to continue his strong run against a Dodgers lineup that will be without key contributors Will Smith and Hyeseong Kim, both of whom are not in Friday's starting lineup.

The Cardinals, meanwhile, will rely on Gray’s command and home-field advantage to open the series on a positive note.Further updates regarding the weather or any additional changes to the schedule will be provided by team officials as needed.
