After a lost weekend in Pittsburgh, the St. Louis Cardinals will try to get back on track at Busch Stadium with a week full of games against both of Chicago's big league teams.
First on the docket are the White Sox and their 8-18 record, minus-42 run differential and shaky pitching. The two-game series starts Tuesday night when St. Louis right-hander Michael Wacha (4-1, 3.62) matches up with veteran James Shields (1-3, 6.14 ERA).
The Cardinals (15-12) fell from first place in the National League Central into a tie for third with Milwaukee after being swept by the Pirates.
