The most important series for the Cardinals thus far in 2019 will take place at Busch Stadium this week, as the Cubs are in town to play three games starting Tuesday night. St. Louis and Chicago are tied for first place in the National League Central, with Milwaukee back in second place by a game.
Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt was named the National League Player of the Week after his six-game homer streak helped the Cardinals enjoy a six-game winning streak.
On Tuesday night, Adam Wainwright and Yu Darvish will start the series opener.
