CHICAGO • A weekend that has so far left the Cardinals frustrated and furious comes to a conclusion Sunday afternoon at Wrigley Field with a game that will give one team a chance to assert its dominance and another its chance to put a rival back in its place.
The Cardinals are trailing in the series, in the duel of words, but perhaps not when it comes to momentum.
Carlos Martinez will make his first start at Wrigley Field, having appeared there six times previously as a reliever. He takes the ball with the ninth inning of Saturday's game still in the air.
