What is the story about?

After their first off day in two weeks, the Dodgers open a six-game road trip on Friday night against the Cardinals at Busch Stadium in St. Louis.

This will be Emmet Sheehan’s first career start in St. Louis, and his second career start against the Cardinals. He struck out five and allowed two unearned runs in five innings in a win last August 5 at Busch Stadium.

Left-hander Matthew Liberatore starts for the Cardinals. The Dodgers are 5-1 in games started by left-handed starting pitching opponents

this season, but Friday will mark just the third time in the last 16 games they’ve faced a southpaw to start.
