St. Louis is coming off a series sweep against the Pittsburgh Pirates during the week winning the finale dominantly by a 5-0 final. Sonny Gray was brilliant on the mound going seven scoreless innings while only giving up two hits to improve to 4-1. It was the Pirates seventh loss in a row. The Cardinals are an incredible 15-6 at home but the problem has been on the road this season where they are just 4-13. They’ll try to start reversing that narrative when they start Erick Fedde. The righty is 2-3 with a 4.78 ERA.

Washington won its first game against Cleveland in the series but dropped the next two culminating in a 8-6 loss on Wednesday in the rubber match. The Nationals spaced out there runs and looked to be in control and were on the road to victory. But everything absolutely collapsed in the sixth inning where Cleveland scored all of its runs. Carlos Santana got the inning rolling with a bases-clearing double. The Nationals scored three more runs in the inning after but it was too little too late to pull off the comeback. Washington will try to get back on track by starting Mitchell Parker who is 3-2 with a 3.48 ERA.
