The St. Louis Cardinals held home-field advantage at Busch Stadium in their season-opening three-game interleague series against the Tampa Bay Rays, winning the first two contests—a comeback victory on Opening Day and a 6-5 extra-innings thriller—before dropping the finale 11-7 on March 29. Steven Matz earned the win in his first start since last April against his former team, fueled by Yandy Díaz's four singles, a double, and four RBI, highlighting Rays' offensive potential despite an 0-2 skid entering game three. Key absences included Rays shortstop Taylor Walls (groin, out) and Cardinals catcher Willson Contreras (shoulder strain, 10-day IL potentially longer), with Dustin May's Cardinals debut adding intrigue to the pitching matchup. Early-season rust and bullpen usage factored heavily into trader assessments of this competitive interleague clash.
