Pre-Gamin' with RedBird Nation: [at Dodgers] 9:10pm

Following last night's inspiring 2-to-1 victory over the new-look Los Angeles Dodgers; the two teams will be back at it again tonight for just the second of a four game series for the two ballclubs this weekend on the west coast; at the home of the Dodgers.

Behind an excellent outing from starting pitcher Lance Lynn--as well as some clutch hitting off of the bats of Allen Craig and Skip Schumaker--the defending world champions bumped there lead in the wild card race to two games; and will look to continue building it up over the next three games.

Tonight's game will feature a pitching matchup of the Cardinals' Joe Kelly (5-6, 3.51 ERA) and the Dodgers' Chris Capuano (11-10, 3.51 ERA). The Dodgers enter the game looking to end a four game losing skid; while the defending champions look to build on last night's win as they had previously lost four in a row also.

In Kelly's season against the Dodgers, he is 0-1 with a 3.00 earned-run average as he allowed three runs on four hits through six pretty strong innings of work. As for the Dodgers' starter Chris Capuano; in his career against the Redbirds in 2012, he is 0-1 as well with one outing as he allowed six runs on eleven hits.

Here is a quick look at the lineup that Mike Matheny has put together for the defending champion Saint Louis Cardinals for tonight's second game of the four game set for tonight's contest:

1. Jon Jay (Centerfield)
2. Carlos Beltran (Right Field)
3. Matt Holliday (Left Field)
4. Allen Craig (First Base)
5. Yadier Molina (Catcher)
6. David Freese (Third Base)
7. Matt Carpenter (Second Base)
8. Pete Kozma (Shortstop)
9. Joe Kelly (Starting Pitcher)
