Weather permitting, and there are signs that it ultimately will, the Cardinals will play the first of their 13 games remaining with the Pittsburgh Pirates Monday night at Busch Stadium. The 13 games are the most the Cardinals have remaining against any team and the clubs have divided six matchups so far this season, with Pittsburgh winning three of four here in May.
Miles Mikolas, who has pitched more career innings (45 2/3) against the Pirates rather than any other club, will make his third start against them this season. Harrison Bader will be in center field for a second day in succession.
