The St. Louis Cardinals look to win their seventh straight series as they take on the Los Angeles Dodgers today at 3:00 CT. The rubber game of this series features a marquee pitching match up as Shelby Miller (5-3, 1.34) takes on Clayton Kershaw (5-2, 1.35). Miller and Kershaw are are the top starting pitchers in the National League as Kershaw is atop the NL in ERA and Miller sits at fourth place behind Patrick Corbin and Jordan Zimmerman.
The Cardinals fell 5-3 to the Dodgers last night as Cardinals' starting pitcher John Gast left the game early in the Bottom of the 2nd with an apparent injury. The Cardinals' starting pitching rotation is now facing a lot of questions as left-hander Jaime Garcia will miss the rest of this season undergoing shoulder surgery. Jake Westbrook (2-1, 1.62) is on the 15-Day DL with an elbow injuries. However, with all the starting rotation has suffered this season, the Cardinals still lead all of baseball with a 3.12 ERA.
The Cardinals are 31-17 at this point of the season and hold a record of 16-6 in the month of May. The Cardinals haven't lost a three game series since April 26th-28th against the Pirates. The streak of seven straight series wins for the Cardinals is in jeopardy today as the Cardinals get set to take on an early Cy Young candidate in Clayton Kershaw. Here is the lineup for the Cardinals today: Carpenter 1B, Jay CF , Holliday LF, Craig RF, Molina C, Freese 3B, Descalso 2B, Kozma SS, Miller P.
After today's game, the Cardinals head to Kansas City to take on the Royals in an interleague battle on Memorial Day. The teams will play two games in Kansas City on Monday and Tuesday, then two games back in St. Louis on Wednesday and Thursday.
