After losing two out of three to the Phillies over the weekend, the Cardinals welcomed division-leading Milwaukee to Busch Stadium Monday night for the start of a four-game set. This series means very little for both teams, as the Cardinals have essentially been out of playoff contention since May, while the Brewers hold a 6.5 game-lead in the division with two weeks remaining in the season.
This particular game is very important to Cardinal fans, however. After picking up his 199th win last time out, Adam Wainwright had an opportunity to grab number 200 on Monday night.
