The World Series champions are off to a nice start heading into today’s home opener against the Chicago Cubs. They have an impressive 5-2 start on the road and lead the National League with a .301 average and their 12 home runs, 37 runs and .371 on-base percentage were the best in baseball through Wednesday’s games.
David Freese and Rafael Furcal are hitting above .400, Kyle Lohse is 2-0 with a 1.35 ERA and Jake Westbrook didn’t allow an earned run in his first outing.
Adam Wainwright will pitch in the home opener, opposing the Cubs’ Jeff Samardzija. It will be Wainwright’s first time pitching at Busch since 2010. He sat out last season after undergoing surgery during spring training. First pitch is at 2:15 p.m.
