A week ago, the St. Louis Cardinals, after winning two of three at home against Chicago, led the Cubs by one game in the National League Central. But after losing five straight, the Cardinals find themselves in third place in the division, four games behind the Cubs.
St. Louis looks to right the ship as they begin a three-game weekend series at home Friday night against Pittsburgh.
Dakota Hudson (10-6) starts for the Cardinals while Chris Archer (3-8) goes for the Pirates.
Game time is 7:15 with the pre-game at 6:20 on KTLO-AM.
