The St. Louis Cardinals (43-40) and the Pittsburgh Pirates (40-43) begin a new three-game series on Tuesday at PNC Park. The Cardinals have won seven of their last 10 games, including a 2-0 win over the Cincinnati Reds on Sunday. St. Louis finished with a 16-12 record in June, batting .246 with 113 runs and posting a solid 3.46 ERA. The Pirates split their last 10 games with a 5-5 slate. They prevented a sweep after coming through a 4-0 victory in the series finale vs. the Atlanta Braves. Still, Pittsburgh hopes for a much better run in July after sporting a 14-12 slate in June.
