DOWNTOWN ST. LOUIS, MO (KTVI)-It is Annie Malone Parade day in St. Louis.  In the wake of the New Orleans Mother’s Day parade shootings, security is a top concern for the tradition that is more than a century old.

The New Orleans parade shooting along with the Boston Marathon bombing will have police on a high state of alert Sunday in St. Louis.  About 50,000 people are expected to attend the Annie Malone Parade and police will be out in force.  Not only will there be cops in uniform, but there will be plain clothes officers in place as well.

But despite the large presence, officers are asking that people in the crowd keep their eyes open for anything unusual.  With so many people on the route, police have their limitations.

Garcia Lands On DL, Boggs Recalled From Memphis

(KTVI)-Cardinals starting pitcher Jaime Garcia has been placed on the 15 day disabled list. Garcia is battling the same shoulder strain that limited him last season to just 20 starts.

The Cardinals team doctor performed an MRI on Garcia’s pitching shoulder on Saturday morning. The results nearly mirror the same shoulder strain Garcia battled last season. So surgery could be an option.

He allowed six runs in Friday night’s game but still got the win to raise his season record to 5-2.

Mitchell Boggs has been recalled from the Cardinals Class AAA farm team in Memphis to take Garcia’s spot on the roster. Garcia’s spot in the starting pitching rotation could be filled by any of these pitchers: Joe Kelly, Carlos Martinez, Seth Maness or AAA pitching phenom and last year’s top draft pick Michael Wacha.
