Cardinals vs Cubs: Hot Streaks Collide | St. Louis Cardinals News

Cardinals head to Wrigley Field for a high-stakes weekend opener against the surging Cubs, who’ve turned things around with a historic offensive explosion since mid-June. St. Louis, riding a series win in Atlanta, faces a Cubs team led by a resurgent Dansby Swanson and center fielder Pete-Crow Armstrong, who’s smashing records. Despite pitching woes and injuries, the Cubs lead the league in homers and are on a five-game win streak. Cardinals’ Andre Pallante, battling recent struggles, takes the mound against Cubs’ David Peterson, making his debut after a Mets trade — hoping Chicago’s elite defense can bail him out. With the Cardinals at 45-39 and Cubs at 49-38, this is the second meeting this season, and St. Louis holds the edge from their first series in Busch Stadium. First pitch: 3:15 PM, delayed by storms.
