With a three-game sweep of the Dodgers this past week, the Cardinals won their eighth consecutive series and sit at a 71-57 record, 14 games above .500. St. Louis will look to continue their streak in Colorado this weekend after Thursday’s day off, as the Cardinals take on the Rockies in a three-game series that will begin Friday.
The Brewers (71-58) were also off on Thursday, a day that saw the Phillies and Rockies win. The Rockies and Brewers are tied for the second National League Wild Card spot, a half-game back of the Cardinals, while the Phillies sit a game out.
