ST. LOUIS -- The 2009 season still has a couple of weeks to go, but the St. Louis Cardinals have announced their schedule for 2010.
The schedule announced Tuesday shows the Cardinals opening on the road for the first time since 2006, with a game in Cincinnati on April 5. It's part of a six-game road trip -- three in Cincinnati, three in Milwaukee.
The home opener is April 12 against Houston.
The Cardinals don't face the rival Chicago Cubs until Memorial Day weekend, a three-game series at Wrigley Field. The Cubs make their first trip to St. Louis on Aug. 13. But the two teams meet nine times over the final two months.
The Cardinals play in-state rival Kansas City in just one series next season, at Kansas City June 25 to 27.
