The defending-champion Saint Louis
Cardinals finished there seven game home stand with an overall record of six
wins and one loss--as they swept the Cubbies after outscoring them 24-to-1;
following that up with two of three against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Today, new manager Mike Matheny will
send the team's ace up to this point of the season to the mound, Lance Lynn, as
he will look to help keep the Cardinals on there winning ways no matter what it
is takes. He leads the team with twelve wins on the season and--including a win
last weekend against this same team.
Here is a quick look at the lineup
that has been put together to go up against the likes of Travis Wood (4-5, 4.33
ERA), who is looking to rebound from a disasterous outing in his first start
since the All-Star Break;
(1)-Rafael Furcal (shortstop)
(2)-Jon Jay (centerfield)
(3)-Matt Holliday (left field)
(4)-Allen Craig (right field)
(5)-Lance Berkman (first base)
(6)-Yadier Molina (catcher)
(7)-Matt Carpenter (third base)
(8)-Daniel Descalso (second base)
(9)-Lance Lynn (Pitcher)
The game will deliver the first pitch
from Wrigley Field at 1:20 pm Central Time and will be aired on FOX Sports
Midwest for the Saint Louis viewers -- and Comcast Sports Chicago for the
Chicago viewers. Also, today is Ron Santo day at the ball park, so give yourself
a moment of silence for the luxurious life, career, and character that he was.
Rest in Peace, Ronnie!
