A successful series in Cincinnati puts the Cardinals at 51-47 as we enter the final full week of July. With seven wins in their last 10 games, St. Louis is in third place in the National League Central division, just 2 1⁄2 games back of the first-place Cubs and a half-game behind the Brewers.
The Cardinals will finish up their first road trip of the second half with a stop in Pittsburgh for a four-game series at PNC Park that will begin on Monday evening.
On Monday, Trevor Williams and Daniel Ponce de Leon will be the pitching matchup.
