Cardinals outfielder Matt Holliday moved into the starting lineup for the first time since experiencing tightness in his left quad on May 22. Holliday returned to his normal cleanup spot for the first game of a four-game set against defending World Series champion San Francisco. "It's nice to be able to get back out there," he said. "I'm here to play. I'm not here to sit." St. Louis manager Tony La Russa welcomed Holliday's big bat back in the lineup. "I think he's good to go," La Russa said. "He's not going to try and steal second base, but I think he's ready to play."
