Earns win Friday Pallante (2-0) pitched 5.1 shutout innings, allowing four hits and two walks with four strikeouts to earn the win Friday over the Reds.

Impact After going 64 pitches last week, Pallante stretched out to 78 pitches (52 strikes) in a strong start Friday. Three of the six baserunners he allowed were in the first inning, but he was able to settle down after the shaky opening frame. Through 34.2 innings, Pallante has pitched to a 1.04 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 24:16 K:BB in 19 appearances (two starts). With Jack Flaherty (shoulder) and Steven Matz (shoulder) unlikely to return next week, it seems likely Pallante gets at least one more turn in the rotation -- he lines up for a home start versus the Pirates next week.

Gets another start Pallante will start Friday's game against the Reds in St. Louis.

Impact He'll be making his second straight turn through the rotation after taking a no-decision in his first MLB start in the second game of a doubleheader with the Cubs last weekend, when he worked four innings and struck out two while allowing one run on four hits and four walks. Pallante threw only 64 pitches in that outing, and while he should be able to offer more length Friday, the Cardinals could choose to deploy him in tandem with Zack Thompson.

No-decision in nightcap Pallante didn't factor into the decision in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Cubs, allowing one run on four hits and four walks over four innings. He struck o...

Impact The Cardinals got the win in 10 innings, but Pallante was long gone by then after throwing 64 pitches (36 strikes). The right-hander was making his first start of the season after working at least three innings in each of his prior two appearances, and he should return to a long relief role. Pallante's control remains an issue -- he has a 1.23 ERA through 29.1 innings with a win and four holds, but the 23-year-old rookie's 1.47 WHIP and 20:14 K:BB are shaky.

Starting in nightcap Pallante will start the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Cubs, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Impact Pallante has been effective as a multi-inning reliever for the Cardinals this year, posting a 1.07 ERA and 1.38 WHIP in 25.1 innings over 17 relief appearances. The 23-year-old last pitched when he tossed 3.1 innings against the Padres on Monday to earn his first career win, so he'll be pitching on full rest during his first major-league start.

Picks up win in relief Pallante (1-0) earned the win Monday versus the Padres. He allowed one run on five hits with five strikeouts in 3.1 innings.

Impact Packy Naughton turned in a solid showing as the opener, while Pallante worked in bulk relief Monday. The only damage on Pallante's line was an Austin Nola RBI single in the sixth inning. The right-hander saw his 10.1-inning scoreless streak end, but he's emerged as a capable innings-eater in the Cardinals' bullpen. He has a 1.07 ERA, 1.38 WHIP, 18:10 K:BB and four holds through 25.1 innings in 17 appearances.

Posts two scoreless innings Pallante allowed three hits and struck out two in two scoreless innings during Thursday's 7-6 extra-inning loss to the Mets.

Impact Since giving up a run versus Arizona on May 1, Pallante has strung together six scoreless innings in his last six appearances. The reliever has added three holds in that span, as he begins to earn some trust with manager Oli Marmol. Pallante's biggest issue so far has been walks -- he's permitted six walks during his scoreless streak. He's yet to really be punished for the free passes with a 1.02 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 11:8 K:BB across 17.2 innings this season.

Covers three innings Pallante allowed three hits and struck out one over three scoreless innings in Tuesday's 3-0 loss to the Mets.

Impact Starter Jordan Hicks was struck in the wrist by a comebacker and had to leave the game with two on and no outs in the third inning. Pallante allowed an inherited runner to score on a Starling Marte single, but he was otherwise effective in a multi-inning assignment. Through 9.1 innings this season, Pallante has a 0.96 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 6:2 K:BB. Initial tests on Hicks' wrist were encouraging, so it doesn't seem like the Cardinals will need a spot starter for his turn in the rotation this weekend. That's a role Pallante could fill later in the season if necessary, but he'll likely see most of his work out of the bullpen.

Pitches two scoreless innings Pallante allowed two hits and a walk with one strikeout in two scoreless innings versus the Brewers on Friday.

Impact Pallante has yielded six baserunners across three innings in his first two-major league appearances. He'll likely be limited to low-leverage situations until he can keep traffic off the basepaths better. He was solid last season as a starter for Double-A Springfield, where he managed a 3.82 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 82:42 K:BB, so he should continue to see multi-inning assignments while in the big leagues.

Part of Opening Day roster The Cardinals selected Pallante's contract Monday and added him to the Opening Day roster.

Impact The 23-year-old produced 3.2 scoreless innings on the mound this spring, allowing just one hit and one walk while striking out four over three appearances. Though he made 22 starts between Triple-A Memphis and Double-A Springfield in 2021, Pallante is expected to serve as a multi-inning arm out of the bullpen for St. Louis.
