Coming off three wins in a four-game series with the Rockies, the Cardinals will look to transition that momentum over to their three-game set in Pittsburgh against the Pirates this weekend. The series will begin on Friday evening.
Entering play on Friday, the Cardinals and Pirates share 56-53 records, trailing the 62-46 Cubs and 63-49 Brewers atop the National League Central division. In the Wild Card race, the Brewers, Phillies, Diamondbacks, and Dodgers are all holding a piece of those two spots at this time.
