Fresh off a 2-4 roadtrip through Atlanta and Texas, the Cardinals return to Busch Stadium this week with a record of 24-23. After starting the month on a five-game winning streak, the Cardinals are 5-13 in the month of May.
The Cardinals were off on Monday and are back in St. Louis to take on the Royals for a quick, two-game series that will start on Tuesday evening. The Royals are 16-31 and have dropped five of their last seven games.
In Tuesday’s series opener, the Cardinals will send Michael Wacha to the mound to take on familiar foe Homer Bailey and the Royals.
