Notes & reviews

the Cardinals opted to start the game on time even though it was raining with a threat of hail; Cardinals manager Tony LaRussa swapped his pitchers at the last minute by starting a relief pitcher instead of the scheduled starter, who came into the game after the first rain delay
2:10 rain delay
Kyle McClellan was the intended starter for the Cardinals
the Reds starting pitcher, Edinson Volquez, warmed up before the delay and was done once the game restarted; he never pitched in the game so he is credited with a game played but no game pitched
