Season series: Cardinals lead 2-1
These teams were rained out Friday night, and this will be the nightcap of a doubleheader. The 1st game was not finalized at press time.
The Cards went 2-4 in their final 6 games before the All-Star break, as they were clearly running on fumes. They went 18-12 in 1-run games before the break, and their pen was taxed. OF Alec Burleson has emerged, as he has raked with a .340 BA, 5 homers and 15 RBIs in 53 July at-bats thus far.
