The Cardinals loaded up and traveled to Philadelphia to begin a three-game series with the Phillies on Monday evening. After dropping two of three to the Cubs - though St. Louis finished with a win, so it kind of ended on a positive note - the Cardinals enter the series with a 37-32 record. After taking two of three in Milwaukee from the Brewers, the Phillies, too, are 37-32.
Entering Monday, the Brewers lead the National League Central division by a half-game over the Cubs. The Cardinals are four back of the Brewers.
