The defending champions are 3-3 on the road trip that will come to an end on Sunday following these next four games. The Cardinals started it off right by beating the Cincinnati Reds two out of three games but then followed it up by losing two of three to the Pirates--which now has them just one game out in the race for the final Wild Card spot in the National League.
Washington enters tonight's contest with an overall record of 78-51 and has a five-game lead over the second-place Atlanta Braves in the National League East. The Nats will send former Cardinal and World Series champion Edwin Jackson to the mound against Jaime Garcia--in the return of Yadier Molina.
Here is a look at the lineup that manager Mike Matheny put together for his squad for tonight's contest:
- Jon Jay (Centerfield)
- Carlos Beltran (Right Field)
- Matt Holliday (Left Field)
- Allen Craig (First Base)
- Yadier Molina (Catcher)
- David Freese (Third Base)
- Skip Schumaker (Second Base)
- Rafael Furcal (Shortstop)
- Jaime Garcia (Starting Pitcher)
